I Think of You
I Think of You (M. Canarie)
Late in the afternoon we rode out to the lake
Summer was in the sun but a fall was in the air
You put your head out the window and sang a song
I tried to sing along
It was a song that I used to know but the words all escaped me
I hummed with the melody but tripped on the phrasing
The wind that tussled your hair carried the music away
Far away
It's been a blessing it's been a curse and so much worse
'Cause when everything I know just fades from view
I think of you
There were days filled with emptiness and nights unremitting
Dreams that were hollowed out like friends' tired pity
I soon put it all far behind, settled happily
But I was never free
It's been a blessing it's been a curse and so much worse
When I've done everything I have to do
I think of you
And the man I might have become
Instead of quitting before I'd begun
So I'm pushing the grocery cart through the aisles of a lifetime
Follow a shopping list and wait in a long line
Lost in a parking lot I'm driving through town
Nowhere to turn around
It's been a blessing it's been a curse and so much worse
When I've done everything I have to do
When everything I know just fades from view
I think of you
