The Trilobytes - Keep This Family Together

Sorting out my old regrets
Some are blue and some are red
Standing in the corner shy
Afraid to dance afraid to cry

No wiser than the day is long
The soldier in me now long gone
It's funny when you're giving in
A bit of fight wells up again

I've had to swallow the worst of my fits
I broke the last vow that I swore allegiance with
And I'd swallow my pride for this one little wish
To keep this family together

No mountains here to break the dawn
The sun is wane the whole day long
A cold wind drives the traveler back
Lest he's resolved to face the fact

No birds to circle about the sky
With promises of warm Julys
Just the inky hungry crows
Tearing at the winter snow

I've had to swallow the worst of my fits
I broke the last vow that I swore allegiance with
And I'd swallow my pride for this one little wish
To keep this family together

Soon the break will come at last
And one side stands to see it pass
The other lets the shadows dance
Just pining for another chance

But times are changing in this place
The joyous rooms that laughter made
Will someday stand like empty tombs
Of endless listless afternoons

I've had to swallow the worst of my fits
I broke the last vow that I swore allegiance with
And I'd swallow my pride for this one little wish
To keep this family together
