you spread me thin across the page
try to read keep it like a book
and you made your mark and you set it aside thinking i could wait
you were wrong it took too long
and you said hands like these
something about tranquility
went to a place a thousand miles from here
try to make it precious and hold on but it was gone
soaked to my knees i thought i would drown
and all alone I heard a voice filled with pain
(it was mine)
and you're reminded of this now and you think of this again
and again
