I missed YOU

I missed you before you were gone for good

i missed you before you were gone

we used to walk the streets to reflect our mood

we swore our souls were like one

you slipped easily into my heart

and hopefully i into yours

we held hands and sang and ran under stars

and on the very first night we ever met

you tied a silk cravat around my neck

we could have been an item and i remember thinking

how good we two souls could look

but again the old devil of the potent medicine

stepped in and from me it was you who he took

he gilded you easy

but you did stop briefly

to look back

and catch my eye

and then you were gone, the door shut, my cheeks burned

but i knew it wasn’t an end

just another beginning

because i didn’t watch you go

with a broken heart oh no,

well practised in the art

instead i loved you from a distance and decided not to show

my love for you ever again

but i loved every time i saw you and i know you felt the same

you’d always want to stay with me at least for a night and day

we’d hold hands and walk the streets

to reflect our moods and we’d seek

one more adventure

and remember,

i will always remember

that is what you said to me

the last night we shared together

c’mon I want one more adventure, with you

and now i know i missed you, before you were even gone

oh i’ll always know now that i missed you,

before you were gone for good

so i’ll sing underneath those stars we saw

and run free with you in my dreams

out of all the adventures and experience

missing you will bring the biggest, it seems

Easy to Get Along The Lane

it’s easy to get along the lane now

the cars parked there always, have gone

and my big ole vehicle which i could never drive down there

well i can now

while made to stay indoors, under threat of not just a virus

i stay indoors while on the road

i like driving my motorhome bus

one last adventure, you said to me, please one last adventure let us have

and all the while we both knew, one best adventure we’d had

so it’s easy to get along the lane now

and this has been the strangest of days

in my lifetime i don’t recall i’ve ever seen

the beauty of time held unprecedentedly

will i continue to see this, again and again and again?

for as i bear witness

i know i too must refrain

else, like y’all

we all do it again and again and again

but i like the fact it’s easy to get along the lane now

and as strange from beyond anyones’ grave

you moved me to my next adventure

can we do this over and over and over again?
