If I could have you back again,
What time?
What place?
What age?
And when?
If I could have you back again,
To touch
To smile
To talk
And then
If I could have you back again
Before
The tears
The screams
The pain
If I could have you back again
Both you
And I
Would know……..
It could never be the same.
If I could have you back again
By Bobby Stevenson
The Dust Road
I Lost you pal
As they drove the last few miles,
the wind grew warmer
And he closed his eyes, fixing his
mind on that evening
When they celebrated with a party
Everyone was there that night, alive
and well
Taking joy in each others' company
Never thinking that things would
change so much
That fixed point in his head was
where he ran to
When the days were cold and bare
Perhaps he repainted the colours
every time he visited
But it was his to do as he wished,
For there he was truly, truly happy,
That one perfect night before
his world crumbled
And turned to dust.
I lost you friend,
A long, long time ago,
And as I turned to wave,
Was when you chose to go.
I lost you pal,
As others had their say,
I let you die, and turn to dust,
And followed other ways.
I let you go,
Ashamed of who you were,
I took the air from out your mouth,
And left you,
Know not where.
I lost your heart
I lost your soul and brain
But now I smile,
And now I weep,
I found myself again.
