She Was There, You Weren't
Folder:
The Seasons Were Ours those weekdays amassed(remember that early fall)
my rush was to a quiet spot,
where i could hear you talk
in your letters and think
of words to see
the lifting of your eyes
jaded like me, perhaps a stream just in need to turn it's tide
the season passed(forever before the year was gone)
you pushed to a quiet spot,
where you couldn't hear much
but just the same old
the only words you'd see
facelifting your eyes
faded old trees, silverscreens just in need to be made reality
i didn't think that was your philosophy
now i've learned that lesson so long ago
it wasn't some epiphany
as much as it was time taking its toll
it became someone else
that was there, you weren't
you weren't at all
your reason cast(over and over and plenty still)
like stones at a quiet pond,
just trying to make a splash
on water for the wind
draw fallen leaf
stir sunken sailors sigh
and quiet it with hopes the tears are your dream to come from my eyes
once i didn't think that was your philosophy
now i've learned that lesson so long ago
it wasn't some epiphany
as much as it was time taking its toll
it became someone else
that was there, you weren't
you weren't at all
it became someone else
that was there, you weren't
you weren't at all
when i had no where to go
when things went bad back home
when i felt betrayed
when i got there too late
when i got sick
when i got better
when i patched things up
when i ripped up painful letters
when i really hid'em away
when i found them again
when i recorded my first song
when i almost lost it all
when i found someone else
when we were better off
friends - when i lost them, heather, you weren't there
and the morning she passed
i rushed to a quiet spot
where her spirit walked
on water and wind
a fallen leaf
a lifting butterfly
shade of trees and a stream that seemed to come from my eyes
i didn't wait for your sympathy
i learned that lesson long ago
it wasn't some epiphany
as much as it was time taking its toll
it was always someone else
she was there, you weren't
you weren't at all
it was always someone else
she was there, you weren't
you weren't at all
when you left me hanging
by the wire
i got another call,
near where you weren't
it was always someone else
that was there, you weren't
it was always someone else
that was there, you weren't
you wouldn't show if you ever cared, ever cared at all
