(Just Under) The Yellow Light
©Jerry Axson

Who's the boy waving from the parking lot?,
with your bag of groceries in his hands,
acne face, jerky eyes, yes he smiles a lot,
wants to build his life from a pile of sand,
Well he don't know much about the world that he lives in...he says -
give me a call sometime and maybe I'll begin...

And I'm always - just under the yellow light,
that's the story of my life, maybe wrong or maybe right,
Yes, I'm always - just under the yellow light,
out of reach is out of sight, such a shame I can't get it right...

Who's the boy walking his dog in the searing heat?,
too much sun on his shoulders red,
would it help if he told us he was an imbecile?,
I am he cried - I am I said,
Well he don't know much about the world that he lives in...he says -
give me a call sometime and maybe I'll begin...

And I'm always - just under the yellow light,
that's the story of my life, maybe wrong or right,
Yes, I'm always - just under the yellow light,
out of reach is out of sight, such a shame I can't get it right...

He gets lonely every night,
just lays there so still and quiet,
for the pendulum swings over his head,
cuts him in two then he'll be dead...

And I'm always - just under the yellow light,
that's the story of my life, maybe wrong or right,
Yes, I'm always - just under the yellow light,
out of reach is out of sight, such a shame I can't get it right...
Yellow light, yellow light, yellow light, yellow light -
Yellow light, yellow light, yellow light, yellow light -
Yellow light, yellow light, yellow light, yellow light -
Yellow light, yellow light, yellow light, yellow light -

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
