No Common Future

Inspired by a visit to a famous psychic. Strange but true. This is what she told me.

I’m outta time, I’m outta touch
Maybe I just want too much
Am I going blind, will we turn to dust?
Is it all a waste of time?

I look at us and what a sight
I see myself in a strange new light
And though you say “we’re gonna be alright”
Is it all inside your mind?

What’s in the past is in the past
And I don’t need no looking glass
To tell me that we’re sinking fast
They’ll be no common future
They’ll be no common future

Now I’ve been down this road before
Don’t wanna walk this road no more
One foot in one foot out the door
Till I made my baby cry

But I can’t help the way I fear
I fall apart when you get too near
I cry a naked cry for the world to hear
And I sigh a lonely sigh

No fancy footwork needed here
The furies have spoken they say “have no fear-
It’s plain as rain it’s crystal clear
They’ll be no common future”

One day you wake up and you’ve got it all
Next thing you’re struggling
Like a flower in uncertain soil
And there’s no common future
They’ll be no common future

No reason
No rhyme
No one more last time
No huggin
No lovin
No kissin
All this and
No romance
No slow dance
No back glance
No last chance
No one to woo ya
No common future
