You call
I'm alone
I get thrilled
to the bone
you talk
I listen
bout our kids
my weekend

Chorus:
Facing the facts hating the answers
like isn't love you don't miss me much
hope isn't truth prayers aren't promises
livin in the past I'm out of touch
hoping you'll come back
But I'm ....facing the facts


The life
I missed
is gone
now it's
me alone
a man
let you slip
through my hands

Chorus:
Facing the facts hating the answers
like isn't love you don't miss me much
hope isn't truth prayers aren't promises
livin in the past I'm out of touch
hoping you'll come back
But I'm ....facing the facts


Bridge:
I didn't see what I had to do
I looked at you but missed the truth
You needed love not compromise
You gave me chances I gave you lies


Chorus:
Facing the facts hating the answers
like isn't love you don't miss me much
hope isn't truth prayers aren't promises
livin in the past I'm out of touch
hoping you'll come back
But I'm ....facing the facts


There I go bluesing it up again......

Ain't doin nothin at all
Just answerin the call
Kinda driftin away from it all~~~~~

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

(smiles) Yay! You rock, dearest friend, I could hear this like either a blues or country rocker and I seriously hope you are getting yourself heard, sweet friend, you have true music soul in your blues blood, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Am I ever living this....really nice Ethome.
Hey, you said one time you were going
to write a Blues Serenade, this could be it!     Such a sad song, but you do write awful nice.  Take care of you,  good poet~
