Down The Drive

about

There's a big world out there beyond the letterbox.

lyrics

The sun’s rays shine down on me
Warming my face
Birds sing overhead
Butterflies flit past
Trees sway gently in the breeze
A gecko crawls by
The cat trots alongside me
Trying to keep apace

Morning Glory’s all over the place
An inexorable tide
Wattles bend over the drive
It looks like an arcade
The nosy neighbour spies on me
She thinks I’m no good
I smile and bend down to pet the cat
And pay her no mind

Will there be bills or fees to pay?
A summons from the courts?
A pile of unwanted electoral guff?
Or some circulars for wrapping scraps?
Some plasticware or clothes catalogue?
A flyer for some crummy sale?
Or a letter from Reader’s Digest
Telling me to reply to them without fail?

Then when I look inside the box
There’s nothing there at all
I close the flap
Breathe a sigh of relief
And then I’m on my way

The sun shines down on me
Warming my face
Birds sing overhead
Butterflies flit past
Trees sway gently in the breeze
A gecko crawls by
The cat trots alongside me
Trying to keep apace
I feel the warmth shine down on me
As the drive turns to a road
I’m out the gate
I’m on my way
Free of burdens
Free of loads
(repeat from “The sun shines…)
