"the pen is mightier than the sword"
but "actions speak louder than words
I tried "beating around the bush"
even though my hands held two birds

i've played "the devil's advocate"
and i tried "sitting on the fence"
heard it "straight from the horse's mouth"
the horse made "horse sense"

i'm "letting the cat out of the bag"
i can't "let sleeping dogs lie"
you "barked up the wrong tree"
we will never see "eye to eye"

is there "a method to my madness"?
"your guess is as good as mine"
i'm listening to "the voice of reason"
the one "i heard through the grape vine"

God knew.
Go knew their weakness.
God knew, their curiosity would peak.
When he advised them to avoid the tree of  good and evil.

We all been there.
When challenge to not do what others states not too?
Some of the best wisdom gets tossed to aside.

Just like Adam and Eve and the tree of consequences.
Wherever there's knowledge?
There's will be some seeking it.

For if they have avoided this.
We wouldn't be going through this mess.
But to be innocent, means to be gullible to anything.

We taught in life wrong from right.
God knew from the start these two wouldn't adhere to his advice.

on a quest for effervescent feathers
to be blessed with the best treasure ever
pleasure for forever never can be measured
i'm just a beggar on a heavenly endeavor

Something is not right,
I'm telling you
Something is not right

Winter,
when your nose starts to run faster than you walk,
when your talk fills with frost,
when it costs you more to heat your soup,
when you start to stoop, oops that's not Winter that's just old
when the cold bites sharper than your teeth,
when you crawl into the duvet and you hide underneath.

Winter,
when the snows lay thick and Wilfredo and Carmella for Christmas Number One is the record you have to pick,
when the water pipes freeze
when you start to sneeze
when you ask 'could I please have another log on the fire'.

Winter,
a time to retire, to hibernate and
wait for the Summer to come.
