Chase the Morning

Shilo is your name Shilo

Can I talk to you

Can you come down please

So we can speak

I saw you at the show

I thought I’d seen a ghost

Your resemblance is striking

You have your mother’s eyes

Her hair

I was told you died with her

All these years have come and gone

How do I put this

I’m your Godmom

State your business

Business

What do you want

I want I want to finally meet you

Something real to cling to

Leave you with the hope that

You will go do all you’re meant to

All I’ve failed to

In you is a world of promise

We have both been kept in bondage

But you can learn from all my failures

I’m not supposed to talk to strangers

Or let them through the gate

That either a big risk

A big fence

A mistake

A new friend

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

How’d you do that

Do what

Do that

That that eye thing

These eyes can do more than see

I know I mean I’ve seen you sing

Where

From my window

I can see the world from there

Name the stars and constellations

Count the cars and watch the seasons

I wish we could’ve watched together

I can’t have guests

Never

Ever

If Dad found out

That I’d been let out

Or you’d been let in

I should go then

Before I do promise me you won’t

It’s better that you

Don’t

Forget me

‘Best if I resume my life inside

My bedroom

Don’t forget that

A sheltered rose needs a little

Room to bloom outside her bedroom

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Let your life be your dream

Integrity

Honesty

It’s too late for me

Don’t look back ‘til you’re free to

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Chase the morning

Yield for nothing

Yield for nothing nothing
