We think
We are happy
We think
We are free
We think
Of opportunity
We think
Thoughtfully
In truth
Or consequence
Are we perceiving reality
Or just contemplating
Insanity
Are we free
Are we full
Of opportunity
Maybe
At best
Not at all
At worst
Deep blue
And purple
The ocean runs
Smooth
As fertile
Life gives
And ebbs away
The depths of waterways
On the ocean clear
And sky above
A subtle passing of
Both fear and love
Well there I lie awake with you
It’s nothing new
Like an old cartoon
Flickering on the T.V.
Through a periscope
I see our lives
Through my eyes
I know
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
CHORUS
Because I have been waiting on you
All my life
All my life
I’ve been frustrated and blue
I never knew
I never knew
How much I love
You
How much I love
You
VERSE II
The three words I head onto
I love you
Please see me through
When the world is getting me down
And when the summer suns
Beems down on us
Broken up
With all our rust
We’ll let go
We’ll let go
BRIDGE
There will come a time
Looking down the line
Truth will be hard to find
But don’t be afraid
Our troubles they won’t
Stay the same
We’ll be O.K.
CHORUS
Because I have been waiting on you
All my life
All my life
I’ve been frustrated and blue
I never knew
I never knew
How much I love
You
How much I love
You
Because I have been waiting on you
All my life
All my life
I’ve been frustrated and blue
I never knew
I never knew
How much I love
You
How much I love
You

The Bergamot release new single ‘Periscope’.
Vice united
One country so
Divided
We need a resolution
To bring about restitution
Man and kind
To be both
Is to be full of life
Full of love
Hope and opportunity
There is no broad stroke
That needs to be taken
When the realization
Of what a human is made of
Constructed of
Is more than a social identifier
But rather is full
Of love
Boil it down
To the simple
Undeterred truth
How uncouth
To lie and deceive
Achieve the goals
That were rolled up
Your sleeve
Boiled down
To simple
Reduction
One stolen
To get wheee you are going
Ease the tie
Late into the night
Drinks flow
Twisting my fingers
Up and alright
Ease the ties that bind
Time to bring together
A bit of man and kind
Impound personality
Strong and observed
Held me up
With a steel nerve
Hoping up
But mostly let down
Impounded personality
Takes my own desires
Just beyond the ground
Take me in night
Into your bitter cold
Biting hold
In the eve of a light
Find me thirsting for tomorrow
Tonight
Alright
Holding the reigns of time
That tomorrow brings
Flying eyes of the night
All on hand
And ready for tomorrow’s light
A forgotten wagon
An old school bus
What we throw away
It falls back on us
With no weight but
Known
That the metals sitting
Rusting
Well past the end date
Forgotten wagon
Will be torn down
As mother nature
Will surely
Confiscate
A Cup of Songwriting
