Never Could Be

Never Could Be
Copyright 2011 Jackal Music

Huddled in a hotel suite, dying from the desert heat and sleet
Every night we talk till dawn, 3000 miles I have gone too long
They throw me out onto the streets and I'm seeing shadows of thee
The Winter Solstice of the East finally brings me to knees
Confusion blinded me so I couldn't see, twas not meant to be, not you and me

Back and forth, up and down, we can't be real, it's too profound, my head it pounds
Days of tears and nights of fear, I don't regret that you were here, my dear
I can't believe how close I came, I nearly sacrificed my soul
Your words were poison to my head, but I was weak and I didn't know
I really did believe, so blindingly, you were meant for me, never could be

Laying down next to you, he is sitting right there too, what else is new?
Strolling down the old park road, my fog is lifting and you know, it shows
But I still let you toy with me, I wanna kiss you so violently
I can't stand to be so wrong so I cling on so disparately
You couldn't let me be so I couldn't see you were wrong for me like I was for thee


The battlegrounds have worn me down, I have sometimes to lay me down and frown
You have some phantoms of your own, but I can't help you as you know and so
We're walking down our separate trails, perhaps we'll meet again someday
Down by the moonlit river where the pack of wild wolves bade
I hope that you can can see finally, this was meant to be, eternally
