Paul and Art’s ‘B’ Side to Mrs Robinson
The deepest depth that it’s possible to fall,
Is into an abyss of betrayal and despair,
Duplicity cuts deep for the unsuspecting soul,
Leaving life without direction, reason or care,
Yet you held your head high
Showed him the door, waved goodbye,
And you moved on.
The longest journey you could undertake,
Starts with that initial tentative step,
Traversing the path of hope and happiness,
Away from remorse or regret,
So you banished your fears,
Emancipated, you dried your tears,
And you moved on.
Years later you gave love a second chance,
Followed lanterned tracks to my waiting heart,
You discovered the warmth of my affection,
Passion’s heated sparks,
Softly holding each other's hand,
Discussing our life’s future plans,
And we moved on.
Life questions, we could answer together,
We knew what joys would be ours ultimately,
Enriched occasionally by autonomous action
Yet together we’re better than individually
Right there, from our very start,
We gave each other, our forever hearts,
And we still do.
