I'm Not There

Don't call me in the morning; morning glory,
wake up and I'll be gone.
When the first ray of sun flashes on the morning dew,
I'll be traveling on with a few
of my friends.
I don't make amends.
Look down that road as far as you can see,
look too far and you won't see me,
I am already gone.
Just a sweet memory.
A misty mumble from some other day,
I spent time with you
but I was never there,
just look in to see how I'd fare.
So how can you tell me
that I compare
to the one that's now sittin' in my chair?
So long, I am gone.

Hello Steve,
finally an answer to the age-old question >> are we there yet?

Merlin

Merlin, Do you want me to stop and turn this car around? Then stop asking that question every five minutes, we'll get there when we get there, and I'm not there...ooohhh such terrible puns...just for that I'm going to take my words and go home.

Thanks fro dropping in to read Merlin, nice to see your name on the boards again.

take care
Steve
