The Poet Song by Carson McHone

Carson and Lorena playing a Carson original at a gig at the legendary Hole in the Wall bar in Austin, Texas.

"Well your sleeve cuffs are worn and they're ridin' up your arms / You whisper words that no one else can hear
And behind your troubled eyes you seem to want the time to stay / but somehow you'll always disappear

I don't think it's so much that you're lost / you just don't seem to want to know the way / with callused hands you'll keep ahold somehow / to that wind that is blowing you away

(CHORUS)
You won't be back, but I won't worry too much, no. You say you've learned to get along / In some ways you just don't have the patience to stay, in others you're already too far gone / anyway, I know you won't be back / I'd say you've learned to get along

I can tell you apart by the lines across your face / that seem to say you've lived the end of many lives / You do your best to keep up with the leaving souls / so you can sing their last goodbyes

(CHORUS)

You've been singing past the end of your breath / pretty soon your feet will move you right along / And this place will simply cease to be a memory / You won't remember why you ever stayed so long

So you're leaving now you won't be back no, no / it's just your time to move along / In some ways you just don't
got the patience to stay / in others you've already passed me by / Anyway I know you won't be back / I'd say you've learned to get along
