Foxfires
One Coin
I watched my heroes die
I wish that I could say
That I was speaking figuratively
(It's the difference between
Sympathy and empathy).
The times that I claimed that I would never forget
We had another sip,
So it could never sink in.
Of course the pictures on the walls will remind me that you were there
But, each song I'll have to hear the notes will never ring as clear
Each story that I read, well, the climax is missing
And each memory I recall I imagine that you are listening
We all have our secrets and I think that we need them.
It's not what you know, but what you don't that keeps us human.
We may all have our secrets and perhaps we each need them
And perhaps I can't know your pains but perhaps I can feel them
Yes we are all men and yes we will all die
But, while you can look still easterly the sun will always rise.
We all have our secrets and I think that we need them.
It's not what you know, but what you don't that keeps us human.
Do you remember over drinks discussing what had taken place?
Or how we could ever try to get this to relate
To me,
Or you,
Or anyone
(We were too young).
When a raindrop hits our feet it creates but a spot
And a dozen raindrops will nurture the dirt
So a storm cloud at your back you could let it wash you away
But it would seem sometimes you need something to ruin your day.
