One More Time Around The Lake

I guess I should’ve seen it coming
I should’ve seen the writing on the wall
I should have it no longer mattered
Looking back I saw it in their face

This is the failure that keeps failing
Where is that breath I struggle for
I’m having trouble forgetting to remember
So one more time around the lake

Mr. sun I rise with you and sleep only when you do
Bring me to my feet
My tomorrows I share only with you

I think I am the question with no answer
And I’m the rising tide that does not fade
I am the king that leads no one to nowhere
Abandoning bed every bed I laid

Where is the love I could not measure
Though I said the word 1 million times
Maybe I can find the definition
One more time around the lake

Mr. sun I rise with you and sleep only when you do
Bring me to my feet
My tomorrows I share only with you

There are no pieces to pick up
There’s not another sign to see
There is not search for a new beginning
It’s not a shout , it’s not a plea

Somewhere three hearts beat together without me
67 years brings this reward
As I wait for journeys end, the journey continues
One more time around the lake

I’m not looking for redemption
I’m not hoping to camouflage the guilt
I just keep staring at that same reflection
One more time around the lake

Mr. sun I rise with you and sleep only when you do
Bring me to my feet
My tomorrows I share only with you

Will this be the cut that bleeds forever
Even after I’ve prayed “God take me home”
I need to find something to at least kill my memory
One more time around the lake
