Just One More Thing

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



When there’s no point to it, I just don’t do it


Accompanied without an attorney
Accompanied by no one seen
Accompanied but not on a journey
They must remain if they’re unclean

If I had this and that then I’d really be happy
But now that I have them my life is so crappy

All that I need is to get one more thing
And then in this life I would have everything

But a reason to go on I still cannot find
I don’t have the words and I can’t find the time

I’m only a flower that wilts in the sun
And soon I’ll be gone when my life has begun
