Growing Old

I haven't done a you tube video in forever....

I sat down and wrote this song a few days ago. I'm sure it will probably continue to morph into many different things. It is very rare I can sit down and write an entire song; VERY RARE. I usually have a couple ideas swimming around in my head, but once I get to the point of getting all of them out, it turns into quite a process.

(Also...please forgive the horrible quality. You'll get the gist of it.)

If you are interested, you can find me on youtube here and on myspace here.

Growing Old

I got

too many lessons learned

too many bridges burned

I can’t just throw it all away

I ran

to many different things

Our hearts break

and now it rings

out in the darkest night and cold.

And pains not growing old.

I spent

many nights on the porch

contemplating the score

between my heart and my loss

I found

the past had taken course.

back to where I was before

And a life the lives bold

I traveled a million miles away

Try to get back to the place where my heart had stayed

but it’s written on the wall

I can’t run from you at all.

I strive

in the battles lost and won

our work is never done

we live the questions now

I know

that the flood will surely come

our lives will be undone

as we wish for days of old.

The pains not growing old.
