Written 2007 - saying goodbye and admitting regret for a tumultuous relationship.. |
I didn’t think I’d end up here The leaves have turned, seasons passed I didn’t think I’d be the one with the tears I thought I’d set out on a straighter path The horizon’s just before me Yet somehow I can’t quite reach it Greener pastures, I told myself Distance, busy the mind I’ll get over you. But I’m still chasing the memories. Wind blows right through me Stills my every step I thought it was supposed to set me free I know you’re the one I promised to How could I forget, I laughed with you Cried with you, danced and loved, and lied with you I guess somewhere, sometime Something was said I suppose that meant that beginning of the end I’m sorry, then, for everything Now that I can stop and look back I would have done things differently, yes. I would have been sure to smile Every time you walked through that door And waved you off not just every once in a while I could have made more time, more often, to say Thank you to the man who shared his home It was your castle, at the end of the day Can you recall just when the night Began to take up all of our days And when dawn became a bitter light I think that’s where our journey began We became mere shadows on the walls I remember searching every corner Ships passing in the night How unfair; to this new love we were no match It stole you from me, hardly put up a fight Would you ever again stand next to me Would you hold my hand as the storm rolled in Just as you did, so many nights, what seems so long ago Could we watch from the patio, carnival lights And circle the city on senseless little drives And wait for eternity on park benches just outside Would you start up that music just one more time for me See out another season with those never-ending melodies And could we gather by the heater for one last long-awaited sleep? You know.. I’d really like that. |
