Lyrics

The whirlwind summer left there on the beach
The rain that washed you out of reach
A certain spell cast over me
The acid test I failed to see
The card game on the porch swing
Message lost in this reporting
Know too much and not enough
I've had enough of all this stuff

Do you miss what might have been?
The dust of all our best laid plans
The simple truth I had to guess
You were gone before I left
You were gone before me

Heartless over hopeless wins
And I am in my cups again
Desperate fumbling in the dark
And holidays that made no mark

Do you miss what might have been?
The dust of all our best laid plans
The simple truth I had to guess
You were gone before I left
You were gone before me

Knocked down once, knocked down twice
Cut my hand and closed my eyes
Still can't bring myself to say
I'm sure you loved me in your way

Do you miss what might have been?
The dust of all our best laid plans
And all these feelings I can't shake
That find no purchase in your wake
Do you miss what might have been?
The dust of all our best laid plans
The simple truth I had to guess
You were gone before I left
You were gone before me
