lyrics

Inside of me, a song of leaves and wind,
of romance and a river’s winding ways.
A troubadour with tales of fated meetings and missed chances,
of fall and lost friends and memories.

If I’ve done wrong, if I’ve caused you any harm,
let me say again I’m sorry.
But I’ll still walk, make mistakes and move along,
cause I’m not one to hold on to regretting.

Sometimes a home has a lonely haunting feel,
another time it will buzz electric with magic in the air.
Sometimes a mind plays tricks, another time it reveals
the many mirrors where I like to turn and stare.

Where I can see myself as a large imposing man,
with long pockets and a gentleman’s tweed coat.
I see myself as a small man with hungry, reaching hands
grasping at a world made of smoke.

Sometimes I tell a lie and say a things ok,
though it eats at me and festers in my heart.
I find that thoughts can be weapons in their own way,
intent to find an end to that which they would start.

And on which side I stand, my triumph or defeat,
typically I’m none too proud.
But if from an empty hand, it’s fate that pulls to meet,
I find I learn my own true ground.

.
So if there’s a song of wind in leaves and romance,
a rivers depth and winding ways.
It’s not me, or if it is it’s only happenstance,
just another voice inside the play.

So if I’ve done wrong, if I’ve caused you any harm,
let me say again I’m sorry.
But I’ll still walk, make mistakes and move along,
cause I’m not done with learning or forgetting.

There’s a love and gratitude to call my home,
And it’s to that place I’m headed
I’ll still walk make mistakes and move along
With one sun rising and another setting
