Moving On


Early Morning Yesterday

It was early
I was up late
Thinking of a better day
A better way
To show the love of my life
Just how I feel
And there alone
Walking on sand
Quiet shoreline
Found my voice
Circle in the sand
Gold wedding band
Pawned years ago
And it occurred to me
What a fool I had been
But that was then
This is now
And somehow I understand
Life is like water
You never step again
Where you were before
Because life is like that
You can never go back 
But it sure is nice
To find a reason
To live again.
Amen

Early morning yesterday
Where do you stand
Lonely man
Broken soul
Picking up pieces
Like grains of sand
On a lost shoreline
Or moving on
Believing in hope
For a better way
To live again.

Moonlight in my mind
Reflection of a time
Shadows through the trees
Oh honey please
Walk with me
And see where we've been
Seems a million years ago
Many miles behind us now
Children grown
Standing on their own
We made it happen
And that's all that matters
No more regrets
No more broken promises
Just life moving on
Like you and me
On opposite shores
Dreaming again.
Amen

Early morning yesterday
Where do you stand
Lonely man
Broken soul
Picking up pieces
Like grains of sand
On a lost shoreline
Or moving on
Believing in hope
For a better way
To live again.

Early morning comes
Put my dreams to sleep
At least for a moment
With the rising sun
Hope in a field
Wet grass under my feet
Dog barking in a back yard
Simple things to bring me back
To a life in balance
Put that shoreline behind
For another time
Early morning yesterday.
