Who Says I’m Not a Romantic
Fernando Raguero
I’m saving myself for the race
to the centre of the earth
saving my “sorry’s” for all
the broken-hearted children
saving my strength for you
when you get home tired and
hungry and lonely and angry
The whole world is singing
to a drum beat
singing to a heartbreak
singing quiet then loud
then quiet
My girl we’ve gotta stop this
too many boys with bullets
I don’t even know about hope today
What’s that man with a rifle in his hand
gonna say to us with our saving and our singing
World’s gone mad
Shoot me in the head
World’s gone mad
I’m saving my sadness
I’m saving my ears
I’m saving my pennies
Too much saving and not
enough doing
It all seems petty
these grievances between us
your eyes brimming
my eyes brimming
something in common
