Regrets
All this cheap bourbon
Can’t help me forget the blood
I just can’t wash off
All this cheap bourbon
Can’t help me forget the blood
I just can’t wash off
I took for granted
Always waking up next to
Your side of the bed
Through the morning mist
A wading crane, motionless
Suddenly takes flight
Darkness enshrouds me
While subtle forces gently
Send me toward the light
A lake flat as glass
The calm belies the hunger
Beneath the surface
Memories of you
Follow closely, taunting me
With what might have been
Winter shore winds blow
Swirling my daughter’s hair as
We search for sea glass
A lazy Sunday
You, dozing on the white couch
Lovely as ever
Old memories found
In the back of the closet
Hiding in the gloom
Dancing on the road
Windblown veils of white ribbon
As the snowfall starts
