Something You Lost

She’ll never know, when she tells 
       C
you goodnight,
                 F                 
The fear that you hide, as she lays
        C
 by your side.
        C                          
When you stand, all the faults of a
 C
 man
                    F              
Etched right in your face, still 
               C
she lays there in place.

        Am                      G
How the warmth of the garden you 
sowed.
                     Am          
Is the stuff of these bones, once 
            G
broken and cold.

           C                    
And you go home and you sleep in 
      C
your bed,
                          F        
Feel like your dancing in sync with
                    C
 the ghosts in your head.
        Am                         
And she wakes. You say, “go back to
 G
 sleep,”
              Am                
You dare never say, the greatest 
           G
secret you keep

Is that you might be alone, that 
                C
you might have to run,
                     F             
That the rest of your life will be 
            C
a series of nights
                      Am
That you spend in your mind
                         G
Staring backwards through time
N.C.             C
At something you lost.

                    C           
And you’ll never be home. You’ll 
          C
never be one

                   F               
Eyes closed in the sun on a warm 
     C
day in June.
                      Am           
But on the damp dirty floor of your
            G
 wintry cold room,
                        Am         
You see her face in the dust. How 
            G
it fills you up.
N.C.               C      C
And you say “Hello. Hello.
                 F             
Please don’t ever leave. Please 
            C
don’t ever go,
                     Am
And you can call me a man.
                        G
It’s etched right in my face.
                  Am
But it could never span
                      G
the endless expanse of space
                  C
all around us alone.
                        C
And just this one small home,
                   F
One brief moment of time,
                     C
The only thing I call mine
                    Am
is this line that we crossed
                       G
And how it came at the cost
N.C.                 C
Of everything that I lost
