Well, finally!

Well, I finally finished something. This is not the one I said I had been working on for 6 days. This one came out of me today in a much more reasonable 37 minutes. It's been through one quick spellcheck and zero revisions, so it might not actually be as good as it seems to me right now. But I am so dang happy to have finished something new that y'all get it anyway. Here you go, 6 minutes old:

I Used To Be From There 8 Jun 2005

I'd never seen her around here but she was something to see
Seemed to have pressing issues, maybe places to be
She glanced at me sideways then her eyes danced away
Now we almost aren't strangers
beginning today

Are you somebody's darling? Are you somebody's child?
Are you following dreams, or, here to set them on fire?
Are you here for my heart, child? 'Cause I will give it away
All wrapped up in ribbons
beginning today.

Tell me why have you come here? Are you leaving behind
Something that haunts you in the still of the night?
Are you looking for signs so you'll know it's allright?
Or just coming in search of
whatever you'll find?

She said you seem like a good man. Your face appears kind.
But what you're asking for sooner, is requiring of time.
I'm from Pennsylvania and it hurts me to say
I used to be from there
beginning today

I'm from Pennsylvania, and now all I can say
Sir, I used to be from there
beginning today
