Maybe...; Maybe you saw your mother, maybe she's smiling,
|
||
|
|
She hears your catching laughter, she's missed your charm,
|
||
|
|
We never made it to Cooperstown
|
||
|
|
But I've still got that glove under my bed,
|
||
|
|
Maybe I'll see you, we could shoot the shit, finally have a beer,
|
||
|
|
"Have a catch,"but for now its catch my tears, its catch my breath,
|
||
|
|
I can just hear you say "come on bud, get out of that funk, it's time to move on,"
|
||
|
|
It's funny how you still apply, you still know me,
|
||
|
|
I'll try to take your tools and make something worth while,
|
||
|
|
Try to make ya proud, I've learned nothing is spotless anymore,
|
||
|
|
But I'll let you resonate...;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maybe your Heaven is that Norman Rockwell scene
|
||
|
|
Where you and your friends are singing that Gordon Lightfoot song,
|
||
|
|
"If you could only read my mind," well if you could only read my mind,
|
||
|
|
Well that ending, it was just too hard to take,
|
||
|
|
Is it better than Clapton? Did you see your fathers eyes?
|
||
|
|
I know it's wishful thinking hoping this won't always kill me,
|
||
|
|
But If you saw yours, then I'll see mine,
|
||
|
|
You finally stretched your feet and ghosted away from me,
|
||
|
|
You had to fade away, you had to leave
|
||
|
|
I'm pleading for one more time with what I know now,
|
||
|
|
I'm begging for the same flake to fall twice for the first time,
|
||
|
|
I'm begging for what wasn't said.
|
||
|
|
That night the snow shaped the land, and I walked home,
|
||
|
|
I laughed the whole way because I suppose if it hurts,
|
||
|
|
It's worth it, but now that ghost is me.
