649 : 1/19/00 : Drop of Water (Flesh and Bones: An Homage 96/101)

1,722 : 99 ?


I didn’t like the doctrine
I resented the creed
I was hearing around me
all thought word and deed
singing I’m just a little
drop of water
like a rain drop in the sea
or a tear-drop on the blotter
One day I’ll dissolve
into the sea at last
to my scattered millions go
on by me through the door into the past
why to go on from there?
Oh just like a drop of water
the story always turns a page
and my wage is just a
drop in the lottery
