this is to the intertwined souls, the hands i've been trying to hold. this is to the love that i lost and all the troubling thoughts of how i got double crossed. this is to the divorce i was forced to settle with and the remorse I fought with metal fists this is to the wet watery kiss I left you with on your porch as I watched your trembling lips so I mosey down the road thinkin' bout the old I used to roam this zone through two feet of snow Right here, this used to be a record shop I've gotten love, I've gotten drunk, I've gotten beat up in that parking lot I've been walking these streets for three decades These alleyways, and these streetlights have seen my best days Before I was a germ learnin how to misbehave, All the way to the grave, South side is my resting place i took a walk down high street i'm getting near the road became empty the people disappeared the clouds ran away opened up the sky and one by one i watched every constellation die and there i stood frozen standing in my backyard face to face, eye to eye staring at the last star I should've known walked all the away home to find that you weren't here I was still all alone. |
