AN END TO WAR
|
I sit in my cabin Like after a long war Just me and my thoughts It's quiet Misty Fall gives way to Winter |
|
I've built a nest For you to find When you grow too tired To fly You never thought You'd need a rest But it was a comfort To know I was there |
|
Nothing much Happening now Just the only thing That ever did (me thinking of you) Sure People stop They say "hello" From time-to-time Birds and deer Drift by (even a bear) |
|
But I'm off Thinking of you As they know all too well I'm not there But they play along (yes, even the bear) |
|
Why did I let You go like that Without so much as a fight? I knew A train Could not Have stopped you Or a fast-moving truck (not even my friend the bear) |
|
You had to go To find your way In this wild, woolly world And who was I Who was I to say (I who have already globe-trotted?) That you could find it here That for which you searched |
|
If you had Believed me Taken it on faith I would have had But a part of you Not your world-travelling mind (while I thought only of you) |
|
And so I let You go your way Hoping that one day (like maybe this) With nothing much Going on You'd come my way A vision in the mist |
|
That you'd come Because you'd searched The world over And found nothing there That you Discovered This truth For yourself |
|
I wouldn't ask A thing of you Just to sing Those songs The ones that make me cry When I hear them today Because They were The songs That made me fall In love with you Before you went away |
|
And you could stay Or go again Who am I to say But if my love Should keep you here It could Put an end to war |
