Old Days

Picked a point on the map and said I’m going there With all my clothes and old guitars in the back seat Restless heart, I thought, be still If this don’t settle me then nothing will I’d seen enough to know it was time to be getting on— I had a dream to find too big to lose, no matter who got left in the rear view It was a blue goodbye, When I said I’ll see you before long “Just look for me when the spring comes, I’ll sing you the light of a new song....” But who knew there would be such a consequence? A revision to the History of How It Went/ A young wolf crying abandonment As if I would, or could, or did I’d just seen enough to know it was time to be getting on— I had a dream to find too big to lose, No matter who got left in the rear view It was a blue goodbye when I said I’ll see you before long. “Just look for me when the spring comes, I’ll sing you the light of a new song....” All these years and still deaf ears when I say I’m sorry how it went down, how you grew up when I got out, & I… is there some way you’ll listen if I tell you I’ve been wishing for the old days too? I’ve been missing them, I’ve been missing you.
