Bad Year

We had a good long talk
Tried to put into perspective
The laundry list of
Everything gone wrong
I know you do
Try to be bright
But when the tide won’t turn
The stars won’t learn what’s right
We go
It was a little high
A little low
You win some, you lose some
We try to make do
With what we’re given to
With all the minutes that passed
I kept thinking things would get better
The optimist mused
With one eye shut
But I will be
Always with you
For when it all goes sour
In the eleventh hour anew
We go
It was a little high
A little low
You win some, you lose some
We try to make do
With what we’re given to
And I know
We’ll be alright
And then we’ll go
Do you remember dear
The times we had
In our bad year?

I was a friend of a friend of a friend
You were a sister of mercy
Heeding a call from the still voice within
To talk to a man full of worry
Outside a post room on faded cement
Kindled were two sparks of spirit
Struck by a chord of a video game even if
We could barely hear it
I don’t know why I was
So behind the curve
All till you came along
And helped me learn
Vagabond, vagrant, evicted and out
Aimless and wantonly wandering
In a Kadesh of decade three
When even I could not recognize me
Terrified to do something that would
Jeopardize all that we had
And so I did nothing, or nearly nothing
And watched as it all went bad
I don’t know why I was
So behind the curve
All till you came along
And helped me learn
I was a friend of a friend of a friend
Of a friend of a friend of a friend
I don’t know why I was
So behind the curve
All till you came along
And helped me learn
