A Letter to a Young, Lost Love

from From The Town of Lincoln, Nebraska by Marcos Cabanas

/

lyrics

Well I'm standing out here on the front porch
Watching you walk away
As the girls turn off the radio
And head back home right through the doorway
And as I close my eyes and wait for the morning
Stare at the stars up above
Your careless moon and the rising sun
Feel that little thing called love?

Now the morning has come, and the sun still shines
Way up over my face
I remember the words as your whispered,
"Don't forget me even if you're gonna chase."
I caressed your cheek and felt a breath
Flowing out of your chest
It's time to face the truth, we're still in our youth
And it's time to put it all to rest.

Well hey little girl that no one sees
Don't fight in the darkness, look in the breeze
Put on your dress and comb off that hay
Let's get out of here and run away

But as the pistol is cocked, and the trigger is pulled
Time stops and freezes by
The echo of the gun
Makes you wonder why
Why did she come and go
So fierce but yet so fast
I exit as a prisoner as she leaves
Make the while and the memories last

Oh and for seconds I think I'm dreaming
But for nights I won't be sleeping
When the mist comes up to cover my soul
You'll realize that I'll be gone
