Here I am
wasting time
im gone a little
gone in time
I tried not to notice
the leaving day
by afternoon
i was gone away
the flowers sleep
your widows peak
summer iced tea
long and deep
blurred by vision
set in stone
i sat those nights
when i was alone
the gaze you gave
to those long lost stars
i wanted to save
keep in my jar
want to laugh like you used to
laugh in the day
laugh in the mornin'
laugh in the haze
i drew in a breath
it caught your gaze
in the shimmer and the haze
in the bronze of those days
gimme that smile
i knew so well
that day you met
my sorry soul
in the blues and the greens
and the songs and the trees
in the suns and the bees
in the moons and the seas
ill stay with you
for all of time
my heart is yours
all of mine
i'll pray for you
to the God i love
ill pray for you
to God above
the laughs we shared
the times we dared
there not a waste
there my endeavor
believe in me
believe in you
believe in us
and we'll see through
the darkened light
the drearier night
the dreaded times
the evil sights
the world we live in
the world we fight
the dusty morns
the cool of night
now friend, i,
know you struggle with the way you look,
the grades you get,
the fish you net,
your girlfriend next,
your tired dad,
your long lost soul
and long lost bet
but life is short,
(and so am i)
i'll pray to God
you'll get by
and if it's my last breath
i'll give to you
my last lie
i'll lie for you
i've never wished to die
never wished to die
but i'd sure do
if i left your side
so here i go
this is the end
of the song i wrote
for you my friend
miss you now
miss you then
miss you next year
when i'll send
a postcard from
far away
beyond the days
beyond those days...
