the reproach in your daughter's most beautiful face |
| [00:35.14] |
made me wonder just how she could know |
| [00:41.06] |
of that something that happened between you and me |
| [00:45.31] |
so much more than a long time ago |
| [00:48.08] |
|
| [00:49.12] |
her mother, I can see, lives within her still |
| [00:54.11] |
cause she looked at me with her eyes |
| [01:00.50] |
though I had only just met her right then |
| [01:04.95] |
I feel that she peeled back my guilty disguise |
| [01:08.26] |
|
| [01:11.47] |
did i break the thread, or did you break the thread? |
| [01:24.13] |
well at this point we could ask who cares |
| [01:29.15] |
as for the promises broken and frayed |
| [01:32.86] |
it's 19 years late for repairs |
| [01:35.75] |
|
| [01:37.99] |
the grey pewter vase held the deep red rose, |
| [01:42.48] |
|
| [01:43.86] |
one piece of coral shone white, |
| [01:48.27] |
by the brass candlestick near your red velvet coat, |
| [01:53.20] |
|
| [01:54.24] |
is everything I can recall of one night |
| [01:57.68] |
|
| [02:26.36] |
will you please tell me why I remember these things |
| [02:31.48] |
after all of this time, I don't know |
| [02:34.66] |
|
| [02:36.43] |
i must have left all those feelings inside |
| [02:40.80] |
cause that year I had no courage to show |
| [02:44.51] |
|
| [02:46.44] |
was i the name you could never pronounce? |
| [02:48.40] |
or did i even figure at all? |
| [02:55.67] |
all of this happened before she was born |
| [02:59.99] |
did i shadow her young pencil marks on the wall |
| [03:05.58] |
still i am sure i was only but one |
| [03:09.23] |
of a number who darkened that door |
| [03:12.64] |
|
| [03:14.25] |
of your home and your hearth and your family and wife |
| [03:18.78] |
who'd been darkened so often before |
| [03:22.84] |
|
| [03:24.13] |
oh, the red leaf looks to the hard gray stone |
| [03:29.10] |
to each other, they know what they mean |
| [03:34.00] |
somewhere, their future is still yet to come |
| [03:36.83] |
in ways that are yet as of now unforeseen |
