Eager to please was just the way that he was
   though his attempts there falling short,
   expectation
   see he would tell of all his conquests,
   was he bragging?
   but in the evening all alone
   Ellen unplanned delays
   saving for someone who really cared about you
   invincible they say
   married to your name
   she was the kind between a child and a lady,
   quick was her temper
   like a blaez from an ember
   no one had measured to her standard,
   so in the evening all alone all alone
   how do I tell them to open their minds
   and to take a chance
   maybe on finding life’s treasure stubborn they stay set
   in their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.
