Lyrics From This Side of Time - Slow And Steady

From This Side of Time

Just a few more hours until we start again
We drink to forget what we took to the chin
A year seems like a lifetime until another passes by
I ended up where I began but I swear to god I tried
I was in my head though I was looking in your eyes
Every lie that I’d been told I cycled through my mind
I always felt alone even in good company
Never stopped to notice you were standing next to me
You’ve been gone so long but I can still feel you there
Occupying space with your absence everywhere
I blamed you as if it were something that you took
You may have lit the match but I gave you the book
