lyrics

We stood on the pier, watching the water rise,
Sometimes you need more than tears in your eyes,
It’s funny how different the same view can be,
when you’re looking for a moment that has already passed

And you wonder what has changed or is change what you see, when you looking at your inside from reflections and memory.

Time put too many miles between us, too many broken white lines,
Seems we had lived too many peoples lives, before the chance to live our own
You grew weary from trying to believe all those story book dreams,
But I could grow old just waiting for you just to read another line

You asked me to write down my commitment to you
Something practical and believable, but alls I could do was pick up my guitar and write down this song

You are always moving, seems I am always in your way
It’s so easy to fall when your reason for standing moves on past

Time put too many miles between us, too many broken white lines,
Seems we had lived too many peoples lives, before the chance to live our own
You grew weary from trying to believe all those story book dreams,
But I will grow old waiting for you just to read another line
Somewhere in the desert a star will shine, may your journey through life see that light some day.

As with any journey there are bumps and cracks along the way. New single, Midnight Train releases Feb 12, 2024 ... more
