A strange departure from my normal style, some lyrics from a thing I did a long time ago, that found an odd home in this downer of a tune with strings and a nice refrain. Pieces of this have been around in my music for a long time.

lyrics

I spoke real soft
I tried to say the awful truth
When it hurt a lot
I didn't say that it was you

And I walked a way a ways from here
Found my way around
And I talked for days you wouldn't hear
I didn't make a sound it's true

I wrote it down
pen and paper black and white
that's what you found
didn't say that it was right

So there it is, our souls are bare
don't like what we found
and we cut it loose and left it there
the memories took it all, it's true

I spoke real soft
I told you the awful truth
Counted the cost
then I found the cost was you
