Jack M. Senff - Old Days

Picked a point on the map and said I’m going there
With all my clothes and old guitars in the back seat
Restless heart, I thought, be still
If this don’t settle me then nothing will
I’d seen enough to know it was time to be getting on—
I had a dream to find too big to lose,
no matter who got left in the rear view
It was a blue goodbye,
When I said I’ll see you before long
“Just look for me when the spring comes,
I’ll sing you the light of a new song....”
But who knew there would be such a consequence?
A revision to the History of How It Went/
A young wolf crying abandonment
As if I would, or could, or did
I’d just seen enough to know it was time to be getting on—
I had a dream to find too big to lose,
No matter who got left in the rear view

It was a blue goodbye when I said I’ll see you before long.
“Just look for me when the spring comes,
I’ll sing you the light of a new song....”

All these years and still deaf ears
when I say I’m sorry how it went down,
how you grew up when I got out,
& I… is there some way you’ll listen
if I tell you I’ve been wishing for the old days too?
I’ve been missing them, I’ve been missing you.
