Writing Off Today
Haven’t got a thing to do
So I think I’ll write it down
Nothing much for me to say
So I’m writing off today
Waiting for the phone to ring
Doesn’t keep me that in touch
And seeing what the day will bring
Doesn’t get me very much
So I’m sitting by my bed
Reaching far outside my head
Just to keep some hope alive
And my fingers occupied
People talking in the hall
As they pass my open door
They don’t interest me at all
Could it be that I’m the bore
Funny thing I think it’s true
Trouble is this much I knew
So the trick has got to be
How to make the change in me
What I pay attention to
Buys me time in where I stand
So to change my point of view
Deals a brand new playing hand
Looking back on what I’ve penned
Has been helpful in a way
It has given me the time and space
To read what I would say
If I wrote away today
