He sat there so idle Just sat on the ground I watched as he mumbled But I heard no sound I dared not go closer I dared not at first But somehow I got there My son, said the father I cannot explain The reason I left you Has caused me much pain I dared not come closer I dared not at first But somehow I got here Sometimes I hear them in my mind Dare I join them now A mended rhyme At a preset time Just join them now Or lose them forever It's a silent mime The final chime Just join them now He did not lift his eyes Just sat there and cried Now I know the words I heard him say I joined him on my knees And then even I cried He wiped away my tears That's when I heard him say Sometimes I hear them in my mind Dare I join them now Amended rhyme And a preset time Just join them now A Mended rhyme At a preset time Just join them now Or lose them forever It's a silent mime The final chime Just join them now
