backwards glances

James

Where'd she go?
Over the fence, no backwards glances
Should have known
When to duck from low hung branches

Where'd she go?
Thought we cleared the tallest fences
Should have known
But I'm too dense and she's so porus
Feels so old, she retreats, the world advances

Where'd you go?
Over the fence, no backwards glances
Thousand blows
She now knows how wild my past is

She's alone
I can't rescue her from darkness
She's alone
We only learn from dark and painful choices

If she ever gets out of this head space
She'll revive the will to live
If she ever gets out of this head space
She'll consign this to the past
All my excesses boomerang

Where'd you go? where'd you go? where'd you go to?
Oh, where'd you go? where'd you go?
Oh, where'd you go? where'd you go to?
Oh, where'd you go? where'd you go?
