Of places gone and not returned to

Not for not trying

Because of you, I remember them

Of storms I have stood under

Clouds crashing and light burning

The rain does not come

Because of you, I remember them

The rain that cleanses, is not from me

My eyes dry and my head aches, but my heart

Does not, because of you

Not for not trying, it is easy with you

So easy to stand alone, with you next to me

So hard to say good bye with hello around the corner

What miles are to go, are miles of dreaming

Colors of day into night, streaming, wheels turning

Not for trying, I do need you, want you

I will come to a stop, my foot on the brake

But I am not balking, I am turning the key to off

I am opening my car door, I am stepping out

Into the light, not produced by a screen, and I love you

Not for not trying, the rain will come for me

You will stand, finally in finality for the rest of time

You will be by me, it will be so easy
