Lost Cause
would you still call me son?
if i tried
would you call me at all?
if i say that i'll go regardless of what you want me to do i'm better off without
i'm better off without you
if i change my mind it won't be soon enough for you
but i'm not you
i'll try to compromise for you to see that there's
so many other things for me to find out
run myself to the ground
would you please forgive me if i found my way back home?
everything i see
everything i do
everywhere i've been
these mean nothing to you?
Lotto karamba Golden Day
from East Asheville Hardware
..............................................
Was golden day November a one long year ago
I came to stay the holiday into your mountain home
I came to share your friendship and sing those fireside songs
I'd like to say I'm sorry for what the year has done
I told you of a distant love, I did not know so well
I could not say I loved her, but surely time would tell
But you and I together and her so far away
Our love that night by firelight we did not have to say
So time will tell a story and time will tell a lie
I never said I'm sorry, I never said goodbye
The love for you was in me, the tear was in your eye
The silence grew around the wound that tore your heart and mine
So now the year is cold again and memory is warm
I came to stay the holiday just one long year ago
I think about your kindness and what the time has done
It's time I said I'm sorry and thank you for your love
