Fray

Fray

The water ain't free no more 
The rivers been taken away 
And the logging is done for now 
For the trees no longer sway

The hell you put me through 
It's like the earth been taken away 
And the logging is done for now 
For the trees no longer sway

They say that love is blind 
Baby the bats can see the way 
And the logging is done for now 
For the trees no longer sway

So you went to the other side
Hey it's cool to have your say
And the logging is done for now 
For the trees no longer sway

It was the 25th December 1965
I remember the date and day
And the logging is done for now 
For the trees no longer sway

There's no sleep anymore, no
No rest or peace,  just fray 
And the logging is done for now 
For the trees no longer sway

Lots of strong feelings here. I read this as someone that has lost a love and misses them. Yet the relationship was strained when it was still a relationship. Love is blind as a bat, but the bat isn't blind it just can't see. The love is gone and there is unrest left in the house. A sad story, but told pretty well. I was not fond of the repeated lines in every stanza, but overall a good job, Anthony
