about

Sad Times. Mid-tempo. Reflective, Contemplative.
Singer-Songwriter.

lyrics

I walked alone through the field at night, I crossed over the railroad track
Beyond the ruins and the empty house, I swore I'd never look back
Under the heavens in this town of ghosts, that left me alone
Midnight into the break of dawn, a mind turning, steel and stone

A heartbreak, she cries
The light in your eyes
I look to the skies
And I still ask why

He took his clothes and he left the rest
Made his way to his old hometown.
Said I don't know what this all is for, as he
Watched the Sun go down.
She wandered streets in a forgotten city
Where the memories cling and live, then she
Drove all night into the early light
Baby I got nothing left to give

A heartbreak, she cries
The light in your eyes I look to the skies And ask why

A heartbreak, she cries, can't forget The light in your eyes, my sad regret, I look to the skies, unending night And I still ask why

And years go by, And years go by, And the years go by.
