This was a fairly quick write tonight. I had the idea a few days ago, and had a few rhymes. I fleshed it out a bit more today. Good enough for FAWM. I would definitely like to revisit this one after FAWM.

If I tell you I’m tired, will you leave me alone? Will you go on your way like a bird that’s flown? Will you roll on away like a hill and a stone? Move on along to another time zone? Go find out where the wind has blown? If I tell you I’m tired, would you leave me alone?

I was all alone doing just fine Didn’t need nothing to come and wreck my mind But there you were, I looked up and there you were I was doing just fine, minding my own time But there you were

If I tell you I’m tired would you leave me alone? I’ll be content like a dog with his bone I don’t want nobody callin’ on the phone If you come back here you know I’ll just moan All by myself is the best time I’ve known If I tell you I’m tired would you leave me alone?

I was out on a walk, just lookin at the sky There wasn’t nothin’ around to make me cry But there you were, I looked up and there you were I would’t tell a lie, I tried to slip on by But there you were

If I tell you I’m tired, will you leave me alone? Will you go on your way like a bird that’s flown? Will you roll on down like a hill and a stone? Move on along to another time zone? Go find out where the wind has blown? If I tell you I’m tired, will you leave me alone?
