Sob Story

you remember
the night we burnt the dinner
we thought we’d just sit down for a while
and one thing led to another

there was so much light
I guess I just couldn’t see
what you were really like

in my eyes
it seemed to go on forever
yet it didn’t make summer
cut off
in the springtime of our drunken gaze

there was so much wine
I guess I just couldn’t see
what it was all about

the night you told me
you were leaving
your heart was beating
in my hands

there was so much love
I guess I just couldn’t see
which way it was all going

you seemed so sure
that I was what you wanted
that I didn’t ask
what for

there was so much need
I guess I just couldn’t see
which way the wind was blowing
