I sent a letter to be flown to you,
Of the words that sparkled in my eyes.
Then I gave my gift to you
Inside a small red box tied in a pretty ribbon
That had been worthy of your truth.
I stood on your steps
With my dreams in hand
Hoping you’d see those words that flutter
And you would understand.
I made more room for you
To take those lessons and maybe we could dance.
I cared more than I could believe
My heart grew louder than it ever has.
I did more than I could do,
I took you into my hands,
Gave you the warmth when all the good was smashed.
And I stayed close by you
When you changed to a better path.
But you seem to have buried all that away
And let it fade in the sand,
So I’ll stop the things I do.
What I have given will never run back.
You’re a piece in the heart,
But you never gave me the chance,
So one day past your gravel road
I’ll give this card to another man.
