Fourteen and twenty when we met
King and Lincoln you were driving cab
What was the thing I saw in you?
What was the thing you saw in me?

Wisdom from where I had been
Created by the life I’d seen
Often people would just see
That wisdom not the real me

Blinded by a dream within
My mind would always start to spin
From wanting of a family
Despite the fact that I could see
Contradictions deep inside me

Broken ankles waterfalls
Big gulp, rye and sunlight calls
Conversations we once had
Of inner things and future’s path
Our backgrounds were not the same
Fate likes to set things aflame

Twenty four three girls to feed
And worry about their every need
Somehow in those years that past
Our souls had merged
Then broken fast
Two completely different paths

A letter you once wrote to me
That talked of how things should be
A contradiction deep inside of you
Of loving and not loving to
A projection of your illusion
Of what you wanted for conclusion

A guilt caused by repeat history
Had simple closed my heart indeed
For many years as a defense
An easy thing for me you know

Our souls are bound by such a gift
Of the children that we did lift
Those things you said you'd never do
Was it regret that drove you to?

There is no point for it takes two
To push and drive for something new
I wasn't happy way back then
Not for the reasons that you meant

My mind could reason with the thought
With logic, time, hindsight of loss
To me it was simply back and white
Regardless of the wrong and right
A vow meant to be air tight

Despite the fact I did not have
The things that only fathers teach
Which leave a goal for us to reach
I tried my best in all those years
To do the things I wasn't taught

I find peace in what has past
For it is what has molded me
And relish in the though within
That someday they will want to know
That part of me, that's part of them

I draw from it emotions that
Combined with futures unknown path
Soothe my soul and linger long
Inside my mind as inner song

And when i get those hometown blues
That inner song, it is my muse
That lift's my mind to better moods
That cause my soul to be renewed
