why Susie

not today my friends
 i have loved ones in unpleasant jams
not today - not today
i need time with those I haven’t seen
not today -   just not right now
 love is taking it's own life away

everything - everything in time
everything when it best outshines
almost everything some other time
some things long before their time

not today my friends
i hear a cry for assistance
not today or any day
i confess i'm alright
no not now - just not right now

love has taken it's own life
love has taken her own life
 away
