ALONE ON OUR COMMON GROUND

 

There is so much beauty in this world that I thought we’d share

And even though I know you’re gone now

You are everywhere

I’ll never see another sunrise that doesn’t make me think of you

And I read everyday the lists we made

Of everything we were gonna do

I know I wasn’t always easy, and though I know I let you down

I never dreamed you’d leave me standing here

Alone on our common ground

People say every day will heal me

A little time is all I need

But what I really need is some mercy

From all these memories

And even you say I’ll forget you

Some other girl is gonna set me free

But you don’t know how I love you

Or even how you once loved me

After all the words we’ve spoken

Of how two will become one

How could our bond be broken?

How could we have come undone?

You could say we were two sailors

On a sea of lost and found

With our eyes on the horizon

Trying to find some ground

But when my ship pulled up beside you

And I pleaded you to come on board

It seems when I told you my dreams

We didn’t leave much room for yours

Early on you loved me clearly

A little later you loved me well

All in all you loved me dearly

Until finally not at all
