Barry Lawton - Left Behind

Passed you on the street today
Saw you first before I looked away
Felt the shame like I always do
When I seek to avoid those I once knew
Memories blinked before my eyes
Of forgotten or most treasured times
If I could have met your gaze
What would have we left to say

What did this all mean to me
What did this all mean to you
Now it's all been left behind and we know longer spend our time
In each other's pockets and face sharing laughs and drinks with grace

Passed you on the street today
Father times been playing games
I read the lines upon your face
Every story told every step retraced
Ducked inside some dead end shop
Your reflection passed as you moved on
There was a time those eyes would blaze
With hope and hunger fire and rage

What did this all mean to me
What did this all mean to you
Now it's all been left behind and we know longer spend our time
In each others pockets and face sharing laughs and drinks with grace

I've no longer the time or inclination
To be saddled with guilt or considerations
The clock ticks faster the nights get long
The finish could be soon the pills getting strong
Passed you on the street today
But saw no one behind that face
Saw in ourselves who we use to be
Are we in a good place or just trying to be

What did this all mean to me
What did this all mean to you
Now it's all been left behind and we know longer spend our time
In each other's pockets and face sharing laughs and drinks with grace
