Little love, little love
little love of mine
what will you do
when you find the time

Stuck in the mud
between love and hate
missing that piece
that would make you feel great

Stuck in the grey
between right and wrong
tears in your eyes well up
whenever you hear that song

Everything and everybody
remind you of your loss
wandering and alone
sometimes you feel so lost

But, young one,
dear friend of mine
someday, someday
what you desire will be thine

It may not be right now
and it may not be today
but sometime you'll find him
and you'll smile again and play

And I know that it doesn't help
for me to say, "Sometime..."
For patience takes so damn long
like ten dollars to a dime

But good things come to those who wait
or so a wise man once said
and I know right now it feels
like you'll be waiting 'till you're dead

But while you wait, remember this
you've always got your friends
Though they're not what you want
They are a means to a different end

In other words, while you're waiting
for the answer: yes or no
you can play with your friends
and build snowmen in the snow
(in Julian no less) :)
