Lyrics
Hystory Mystory House

Some people know who this is about.  This is the first song I wrote when I learned guitar, 1997.

I'm leaving today
There's nothing left for me but
Time I say
And so I have to run away
You are my sorrow and the price
I wouldn't pay
Be my sorrow,
Like my past,
You've gone away
 
Timidly
I open my eyes and I see
Through the trees
Take your leave and leave me be
Be my sorrow
Like leaves falling from that tree
You are my sorrow,
Like my mind
You've been set free
 
And I can see
You have no power over me
Ultimately
Who I am is only me
And my sorrow
One remaining part of me
That is my sorrow,
Like my love,
It's been set free
 
In my life
Seems like there's so much pain and strife
And not enough light
Where's the sun to light my days?
You are my sorrow
Like a bird thrown into flight
Be my sorrow
Hold the sun and light my life
 
Like a bird thrown into flight
Hold the sun and light my life
You have no power over me
And my voice is still so free
 
You are my sorrow
One remaining part of me
That is my sorrow
Like my love you've been set free
 
You are my sorrow
And the price I wouldn't pay
And be my sorrow
Like my soul
You've gone away
