Impressive

Impresive Though It Seems

Impressive though it seems I know
This nut's too hard to crack.
Impressive though it seems I know
They won't be coming back.

Impressive though it seems I know
The looks will fade; it sags.
Impressive though it seems I know
All work in time's like slag.

Impressive though it seems I know
The leap of faith will fall.
Impressive though it seems I know
You'll wait and wait - no call.

Impressive though it seems I know
The touch will haunt me soon.
Impressive though it seems I know
Its memory's a loon.

Impressive though it seems I know
The idea's full of crap.
Impressive though it seems I know
The song won't hold you rapt.

Impressive though it seems I know
The view will leave you cold.
Impressive though it seems I know
You're still far far from sold.

Impressive though it seems I know
High spirits come and go
Impressive though it seems I know
The benchmark's much to low.

Impressive though it seems I know
What stirs you now will slake
Impressive though it seems I know
All movement has a brake.

Impressive though it seems I know
I know I know but naught
Impressive though it seems I know
I know I know it's not.
