The Words to Say

It feels like years since I've looked in your eyes

And I've missed them every day

So blue and bright now like the summer skies

Against my sad suburban grey

Oh Harold, you've changed

And I feel estranged

And like I've been cut in to quarters

It's been a lifetime since I've held your hand

And now it feels just like a dream

So rough and rugged now you've lived the land

Holding mine so small and clean

Oh Harold, you've been

Drifting downstream

And you left me in the shallow waters

And I don't know if I can do this anymore

It doesn't feel like it felt before

There's so much less and yet there's so much more

I've spent a lifetime with you

I've given everything

Perhaps I've nothing left to give you

Other than my words, but I can't find the words to say

It's been forever since I heard you laugh

And now it sounds just like a song

So soft and soothing yet it breaks my heart

For I'm not sure where I belong

Maureen, it's strange

So much has changed

And I fear the daylight's getting shorter

For I'd love to show you all the beauty that I've seen

The morning rain upon the hills of green

The evening sunlight on the mountain stream

You say you can't come with me

I know that I can't stay

I need something you can't give me

I wish I had the words

But I can't find the words to say

You know it's strange, but I just can't recall

Falling in love or even meeting you at all

Funny how these memories just slip away

So for now we draw the line

You walk your road and I'll walk mine

Until the day that we can find

The words to say
