Cause You Were There
Posted on | October 4, 2004 | No Comments
You knew me oh so well
As if you were there
The day I was born,
Yes you were there, you were
You gave me life by the rivers edge
Sitting together, sipping wine
Sipping hearts, sipping souls
Laughing eyes and starry nights
Sunny days come and go…
Cause you were there
No one knew why or who
It didn’t matter to you
Wooden tiles played at night
Made the words last forever
Made the night stay forever more
Cause you were there
Kissing toes under the blanket
Made me smile, made you warm
Everyone knew it was right
We were born, under our moons light
In our hearts and in our souls
You were there,
You gave me life the day I was born
You gave breath
Cause you were there
What do I do with my toes,
They’re cold as ice
Where did you go
Where did I go
How do I live again
Sipping hearts, sipping souls
Sunny days came and went
Did I live life
The way it should have been
The way I was born, did I live it right
Did I dance with my heart open wide
Laughing eyes, starry nights
What did I do, what did I do
Wrong…
You were there
Where did it go, know one knows
Does it matter now, sipping hearts
Sipping souls
You were there
The day I was born
You were there
Bottles of wine and tiles of wood
Sitting silent in the room
Did I grow to find
you…
Did I grow to find
me…
Where did it go
How ‘d you know, it was time to go
Now…
