| Now I look back from far away
|
| Thinking of that pivotal day
|
| Back when I did not want to heed
|
| Signs that were just there to read
|
| Yet I do not know what to say
|
| After so long I’ve not felt okay
|
| But back then I felt like I could
|
| Do anything that fit my mood
|
| It was then when I did not see
|
| That all the things you do can be
|
| The source of so much loss and pain
|
| Where you think only of your gain
|
| Back when there was nothing else
|
| Too blind to see my cap and bells
|
| I caused so much that would come back
|
| To haunt me till the end in black
|
| I sit and stare into the dark
|
| So sad I did not think to hark
|
| To what was in the air long ago
|
| Telling me to mend what I sow
|
| The source of so much loss and pain
|
| Where you think only of your gain
|
| I have lost all along the line
|
| And now there is just no more time
|
| To ponder what might be the cause
|
| Of what has at last made me pause |
