lyrics

Walked on hot streets
Through all that concrete sprawl.
We had conversations
I know I'll never recall.

I see the years I've lost
Finding nature in a vacant lot,
Smoking cigarettes at the truck stop.
Morning breaks and casts
Shards of cloud above the overpass
Near the house where I saw you last.

Stepped down. Cheeks sunken.
See the years have been dragging you down
Since you, half-drunken, let fall that
Rippling gown;

And the baby at your breast;
It wasn't me who brought her into this mess.
See your eyes bespeak my heartlessness.
I know I should concede
That I'm lonelier than I thought I'd be;
That I am misgivings mostly.

I see the years I've lost
When I find what you were is what your not.
In your eyes I see what I haven't got.
Evening comes and weighs
With the memories I've buried away
Near the house where I hoped you'd stay.
