Laurel Blues

Keeping it to yourself
Away from the ones who could help
Leaving only your reflection of
The anger that you could not claim
Drowned in the rising tide
Scared of the over-ride
Was it only your reflection up the road
Of the turning sky?
And you never saw it come
Take it away
And you never saw it come
Taking it away
And you never saw it come
Take it away
And you never saw it come
Take it away
And you never saw it come
Dreaming of what was lost
Forgetting about the cost
Just as flawless, the perfection
Of the memory of beautiful former love
Harder than any psalm
Waiting for the morning sun
Seeing only your reflection
Of the hunger that you could not brave
Seeing only your reflection of
The wonder that you could not name
And you never saw it come
Take it away
And you never saw it come
Taking it away
And you never saw it come
Take it away
And you never saw it come
Take it away
And you never saw it come
