What Is It This Time

What is it this time?

What do you need from me now?

Mouth half-open again

What should I put in?

You say you're like a kid again

But your lines are deep as ever, oh



The way you take him

Is not so tender or delicate

Near to some river

Whose name I don't know

And the safety fence keeps me

From getting close



The waves are lazy

And the birds have left for

A better stretch of shore



Everything is fluttering

Hovering and eating

Mouth half-open now

Repeating

What is it what is it

What is it what is it?
