Quite Short for a Goalkeeper - Tom Rosenthal

I’m quite short for a goalkeeper

Quite wise for a fool

Quite loose for the rule

I’m quite sane for a wild boy

Quite late for a bird

Quite lonesome for the herd

Oh I never knew

But love in the end was you

I knew nothing

I’m quite lost for a cartographer

Quite square for a clown

Unworthy of the crown

Oh I’m quite loud for a librarian

Quite young for a judge

Too heavy for a nudge

Oh I just could not see

That life in the end was me

I saw nothing

I’m quite sick for a sailor

Quite civil for a war

Quite quiet for the roar

And I could not show

That life in the end would know

We were everything
