Heartfelt Sorrow

Heartfelt Sorrow

by

Son of Asa Doome

 

He still begins each day

Just the same as before

As he wakes he's lookin' back

Then his heart falls through the floor

He don't know what he did this time to make her go away

If you point yer ear towards the wind

You can faintly hear him say

I don't know what I did this time but I'm cryin' anyway

I can't see any colors now

The whole world's turnin' grey

If you would please just come back and talk to me

If only I could see yer face again

I can promise you now from this day on you won't be sad again

Closing her eyes she turned her back on him

Then she slowly walked away

She climbs into her car and glances back

To see the tears run down his face,

She starts to cry as she drives away

And she doesn't know where to go

Her whole life she had planned out with him

Had just gone up in smoke

She doesn't know why she ran from him

And she cant go back again

She runs outta gas on the outskirts of town

Slams the door and walks away

It starts to come a pourin' down just as if angels were cryin' from above

She throws her keys and just gives up

And now she's cryin' in the rain

You can find him sittin' at the bar

Askin' for a double please

He thinks to himself

Without this small glass of liquid posion

I'd walk around on my knees

He stares into the distance as the world around him fades away

And he prays to god for the strength

To get up off his knees again

If only he could walk a straight line again

He'd do his best from this day on

To never stray beyond the path again

He's lost everything in his entire life that meant anything to him

It's as if he's a lost soul wondering this world

Until he finds her again

She gets up off her knees and she tries to make it down the road

With no coat and no one near she can't fight off the cold

She simply cries out to GOD

And screams out for his help

Hoping just to see a sign

It is far too late cause by this time she is far too blind to see anything flicker in the sky

They both lost hope and now their gone

Doomed to wonder this world alone

If only they could point their ears toward the wind

It might just guide them home
