you ain't ever gonna know ... 13apr2003

I remember, on a long summer day ....  

you were busy, we didn't get to play,

I'm wondering, are many chances left to go 

                                

And in the autumn, when the moon was shining bright... 

out in the darkness, we're blinded by the light

I'm wondering, if there's still time to let it show 

 

You missed some things that would have made you proud

Between the tears you'd 've laughed out loud

If you don't know about those things by now,  

you ain't ever,  you ain't ever gonna know

 

Then came that winter and the longest of the night, 

and only silence to avoid another fight

I'm wondering,  how we ever got so low

 

And now it's springtime, is there nothing left to say, 

there's no accounting for the price we'll have to pay

And I'm wondering, perhaps it's best to let it go

 

Did you forget about the why and the how, 

along the way to your silvered brow,

Those are things if you don't know by now, 

you ain't ever, you ain't ever gonna know
