A ZC Double Play

 

I need not know

what lies ahead

unless you’ll say for sure –

Before that they

pronounce me dead

you’ll say they’ve found a cure.

 

--------------------------------------------

There is no cure

what's come my way,

sad but true

my turn to pay,

No second chance

no reprieve,

I cannot stay

when time to leave,

No cure in sight

for what I got,

that's how it goes

it's just my lot,

Perhaps one day

they'll find a way

to fix this thing

so I can stay,

but till that time

I'll face alone,

that who I was

gets carved in stone.
