Beggars

When I saw you in the morning light

I just held my place

And it goes that with a little time

We give our memories grace

We were choosing opportunity

Over wrong and right

Was the target worth the vanity?

Was it worth the sacrifice?

Only beggars we were

All these lessons we learn

We can never return

We can never return

Stack of letters in the bottom drawer

All the ink turned grey

And I’ve tried at least a thousand times

To throw them away

And my thoughts all turn to questions now

Of the paths we take

Is the one you took the better road?

When you walked away

Only beggars we were

All these lessons we learn

We can never return

We can never return

Only beggars we were

All these lessons we learn

We can never return

We can never return

Sometimes I see the journey back there

Sometimes I wanna go

Rid the lining from my memory

Let the truth be known
