Minor Works

This may be the last

that you hear

for a long time

because my mind just went blank

when i saw

what the years had held

how the pieces fell

and everything that you said

that you'd do

i can see was time well spent

how i wish the same were true

those minor works i put you through

if we'd gone through this

and i caught

just a fleeting glimpse

well i'd run like a dog

on the scent

of what could have been

of what i've been doing

and everything that you said

that you'd do

i can see was time well spent

how i wish the same were true

those minor works i put you through

and i heard you wrestling

for a spot

next to Jacob

or Elijah

reveal

reveal yourself

to me and no-one else

to me and no-one else
