A Love Song

   (forever) 

 

There was a time

When love defined 

All of the things 

life could show

 

So undermined 

By routine & time 

Upon our own tide 

we ebb and we flow 

 

A fork in the road

A different abode 

What would these old eyes

Of mine now see? 

 

Perhaps without love

Perhaps then I could

Get over how much

You mean to me 

 

Chorus:

 

And I never thought 

we would last so long 

And I never thought 

we would be so strong 

Together 

And I always thought 

I'd be there for you 

And I always thought 

we would see it through 

Together 

But I had to go 

and I don't know why 

And I never even 

got to say goodbye 

Forever? 

Is it forever? 

 

We saw on the scan 

As you held my hand 

The shadow of what 

could never be

 

Your head, it fell low 

You let tears flow 

As I shuffled the cards 

being dealt to me 

 

My mind: it regressed

To the moment we met

And a beautiful smile 

That said hello 

 

In fag-ash-formed mist

We got quietly pissed 

And you held my hand

And you never let go

 

(Chorus)

 

I know I'm gone, but I still see you there 

In our bed lying, crying in despair 

But, you know, I'm always lying next to you 

Got to find the strength

To see this through 

 

Suppress the guilt for living out your life 

I'll always be your trouble & your strife 

So, come on, find another breath 

Inhale the world, 

until there's nothing left.

End.
