Hope Floats
Seems the crumb that you threw me
has done the unthinkable.
It has raised up my hopes
I guess they're unsinkable.
To keep them from rising
I've done my best, and you too have done much
to assist in this quest.
You've pricked them and pierced them,
cut them all open wide.
I've lectured and counseled them,
I've told them you lied.
You've ignored them abandon them
and shown them no care.
I've buried them, smothered them
and refused them more air
Still it would seem,
no matter how hard I try,
hope, unlike love,
is unwilling to die..
has done the unthinkable.
It has raised up my hopes
I guess they're unsinkable.
To keep them from rising
I've done my best, and you too have done much
to assist in this quest.
You've pricked them and pierced them,
cut them all open wide.
I've lectured and counseled them,
I've told them you lied.
You've ignored them abandon them
and shown them no care.
I've buried them, smothered them
and refused them more air
Still it would seem,
no matter how hard I try,
hope, unlike love,
is unwilling to die..
