Don't Be Torn - Jim Guthrie

Don’t be torn

You feel a change in the air

But you can’t see the storm

Stay close stay warm

So I’ll remain

You’ve been warned

Don’t be torn

I just want to be your snail

Stay close stay warm

So I’ll remain

You’ve been warned

I’ve tried to move around

Go underground

Here’s what I found

It takes heart

To fall apart

Start from the start

Hear no sound

‘Cause every time I try to think

A ship sets sail I fear might sink

So I redefine what’s in decline

And paper floods with ink

Don’t be torn

(Be assertive)

So let’s dance

Let’s begin to map the winds

Of what has and has been

And never bother to turn around

Don’t look back now

Or take any bows

Just carry on

Hands hide from hearts

Hide from hands

What they know

No

Don’t be torn

So maybe next time won’t come so suddenly

In my mind

It’s already next time

Suddenly…
