about

In cricket, an over is measured by 4 minutes.

lyrics

Hostile stares
Whispered dares
Unseen traps
And a battle
That is joy perhaps
He misses the lonely walk
The scratch on the chalk
The look around
Before the nervy wafts abound

Looking back now
The scores keep falling short
The fields have changed
While he was looking the other way
It was a life meant to be played
In four minute parts.


On a sticky wreath
Demons breathe
A serpent coils
A nasty shock
Asking him for toils
He misses the waiting game
The ticks on his name
The turning tide
And the warring side

Padding up now
Only for a long lost cause
The game has changed
But he’s taking his guard again
It was a life meant to be played
In four minute parts.

It's life's curveballs preserved in lemon jello. Or something like that. ... more
