Queens and I

You were in the banks of my mind

And you were what I thought about all the time

But now I’m trying to go on

And yet you still fill those cracks in my mind

And ain’t there some kind of end to this

Or will this go on and on and on

Will it keep tugging into me

Until the day I die

Until the day I’m forgotten

The ones before

I barely think of, they’re just sour to my mind

An’ to my eyes

No matter how beautiful they look

I’d only care if they’d die

There was a time

One was the Queen

We had a good run

There was a smile and some pains

Some of it never gone

And some things, they will not come to my mind

And then things sure did change

All in a heartbeat

All from what I’d said

There I was with no Queen

I’d have a broken girl, broken heart instead

And then I fell for the other

I fell onto my cobblestone roads

Trying and pleading, enduring what I could

But she had not a care in the world

She went for the one who was like her

Broken and running down

An’ seeking none other than themselves

The two of them seemed to be one for one

Then she changed

Got out of her black clothes

And another man she’s with now

But by then she was not my missing Queen

Because there was another

Consuming me and my mind

She was fair and had the smarts

She knew her way around this world

Some kind of confidence she’s holding  

And I like to say that I tried

That her smiles were not in vain

But in the end she did not care too

And there was nothing to change

Ain’t no way to get pass it

So now I’ve nothing better to do

Then to remember

Her eyes it was like an old tree deep in the forest

Her hair, it grew and swayed in the wind

The other, she had eyes that were the deep and swimming waves of the ocean

Her hair was the shining sands

and the wind blew it softly in the air

An’ the other, she had eyes like dark copper

And she’s got a hint of the forest in her eyes too

Her hair was a shine too

It looked like falling leaves of an ending yesteryear

Orange shimmering off and blowing too

An’ her smile, it was a shine into brighter times

It was her fairest quality

And so I tell myself that I tried

That her smiles were not in vain

And I know that each girl isn't an angel

But here I am, seeing nothing finer than them

So I’ve been thinking of them

In the banks of my mind

Ain’t nothing else gonna consume my time
