POET

Words by Jen Foster & Kathy Scott

Music by Jen Foster

I was a novice without a trade

You were an orphan without a name

I was a fighter you couldn't train

And you the flyer on higher planes

I was the secret you couldn't keep

And you the keeper who held the key

I was a criminal out on the street

And you the lawyer defending me

Of all of the things I could do

I made a fool out of you

With every lie you believed

You made a poet out of me

I was the writer of careless words

And you the reader who finally learned

I'm just a liar in love with love

And you the dreamer just waking up

Of all of the things I could do

I made a fool out of you

With every lie you believed

You made a poet out of me

You're the rain and you're the skies

And I'm a thousand half-ass lies

It's painful but it's true

And I'm the only fool I see

Ain't that a twisted irony?

A different point of view...

Poet out of me, poet out of me...
