Growing Growing Gone

(album: Wide Open Light - 2023)

Your feet barely touched the ground
By the time I turned around
When dreams come true
It's hard to sleep
Slowly drifting in the deep
She's growing
Growing
She's gone

Doesn't matter what I do or say
She's gonna do things her way
Blink of an eye has nothing on
How all the days have flown
She's growing
She's growing
She's gone

She's quite a sight behind the wheel
Now I'm in the passenger seat
With nerves of steel
I'm misery in harmony
Now that you're wild and free
You're growing
Growing
She's gone

Human nature isn't nature at all
Just an excuse we use with our backs against the wall
Someday I'll apologize
And maybe she'll recognize
I'm growing, I'm growing, I'm gone
