SOMEDAY

I always knew someday I’d be without you

But I never dreamed that day would come so soon

Years slipped by though I knew out days were fleeting

Time’s no wheel, some things never come back around

Like a relentless river flowing to the sea

     And now I stand here looking back longing for bonds we were tied to

     That can’t retract the fact you’re gone and I have to say goodbye to you

Pictures on the wall ghosts of this haunted house

Stare from photographs living a moment’s past

Asking why’s no use it’s always unanswered

There are things we’ll never be able to understand

But feeling the weight of your absence nearly crushes me

     And now I stand here looking back longing for bonds we were tied to

     That can’t retract the fact you’re gone and I have to say goodbye to you

All that I can do is hope for tomorrow

While waiting for the unknown yet to come

     And so I stand here looking back longing for bonds we were tied to

     That can’t retract the fact you’re gone and I have to say goodbye to you
