What I Lost

(album: Such Ferocious Beauty - 2023)

I woke up this morning
I didn't know who I was
I looked at the room
And didn't know where I was
Or if I ever was
I woke up this morning

I looked to the skies
They offered reprieve
I look to the moon
And find you sitting in the right hand seat
Stars in your eyes
As I study the skies
We slowly glide
Above the Quebec countryside
Moon-splashed and frozen
The river our guide
And now I feel you exhale
A low soft sigh

And this is what I lost today
This is what I lost
This is what I lost today
This is what I lost

I woke up this morning
I didn't know what to do
I looked at the room
And didn't know what to do
His hands hit the keys
And we are brought to our knees
The explosion of sound
And our minds are scattered 'round
The maestro pounds, and my spine takes hold of me
Shakes me around, and that's when I break free

And this is what I lost today
This is what I lost
You ask me how I am
What am I suppose to say?
When this is what I lost

I woke up this morning
I didn't know who I was
I looked at the room
I didn't know where I was
If they come around asking
Please tell them in passing
This is what I lost
If they come around asking
Please tell them in passing
This is what I lost
This is what I lost

I woke up this morning
