READY FOR THE CINEMA
By Dan Blakeslee
01/01/13

I'm gonna take the finest thread, a tailor I will be.
It's high time for mending so I'll be mending me.
I've gotten good at acting my emotions well concealed.
I'm ready for the cinema the plot to be revealed.

I'm not a gamblin' man so how'd I lose this hand.
I spent a long time a holdin'... she did the foldin'...

We've both been so careless to the one we love.
I'm hidin' like a turtle while she's flyin' like a dove.
You ask me what I've got against the blowin' wind.
It tries to hold me back but no I can't be pinned.

I'm not a gamblin' man so how'd I lose this hand.
I spent a long time a holdin'... she did the foldin'...

Spring is soon approachin' with mother natures power.
The fields again be fertile and fillin' up with flowers.

I'm not a gamblin' man so how'd I lose this hand.
I spent a long time a holdin'... she did the foldin'...
