Lament

This is my lament
For everything
I will never be to you
And this is me sorry
That I?m out here
Chasing your past
And my own dreams

I drive in empty
There?s everything here for me
You?re home waiting
I pray you see what I see
?Cause today I?m out
Looking for your ghost
I?m repairing the lost
Resurrecting the dead
I pray you have everything for me

This is my lament
For everything
I will never be to you
And this is me sorry
That I?m out here
Chasing your past
And my own dreams

So, I load the car to leave
A day spent groping blindly
And there?s nothing hear
I swear, but people searching
I pray you see what I see
I pray you have everything for me
I see now why you love this place
Why you still cannot return
I see you fit these mountains perfectly
Black Mountain, North Carolina
Headed west over the eastern continental divide
South Carolina plates
A Texas license
And a love for you fading I can?t hide?and

This is my lament
For everything
I will never be to you
And this is me sorry
That I?m out here
Chasing your past
And my own dreams
And my own dreams
