LVX CREARE

Follow your head he said
the wise man with his pipe
and his book and degrees
and his red leather chair
just follow your head boy

my head it fails me sir
it does not speak to me
in words I understand
my head it fails me

Then follow your heart
said the man in his chair
with the smoke in the room
and the dust on the books
just follow your heart boy

my heart fails me sir
it does not speak to me
for it is timid and quiet
my heart it fails me

Then follow your dreams
said the man with degrees
gently stroking his beard
with a mild agitation
just follow your dreams boy

my dreams fail me sir
for it’s long since I dreamed
my pillow is soft yet
my dreams they fail me
