Headlight Holds A Deer

(album: Flight Risk - 2022)

There ain't no troubled water
No bridge for me to cross
Just space and time and learning how
To cope with what I've lost
Some will come a running
Some won't shed a tear
Some of them stop in their tracks
Like a headlight hold a deer

It's just this darkness
It's a fog that rolls right in
Leaving me defenseless
But I've learned to live with it

I would like to shine a light
And leave it on display
View it now from every angle
So I can walk away
I will tell you everything I know
No issue I won't discuss
At length and depth bin swallowed whole
And I've brushed away the dust
I've been lost for decades
I've got painful souvenirs
Whatever ghost you fear the most
Will whisper in your ear
I've come to search the narrative
For tiny fragments of the truth
Help me now with the puzzle piece
Excavated from my youth

It's just this darkness
It's a fog that rolls right in
And I've got no defenses
I've learned to live with it
And it gets harder
With every new sunset
Forever relentless I play the cards
I play the cards I get

There ain't no troubled water
No bridge for me to cross
Just space and time and learning how
To cope with what I've lost
Some will come a running
Some won't shed a tear
Some of them stop in their tracks
Like a headlight hold a deer

It's just this darkness
It's a fog that rolls right in
Leaving me defenseless
But I've learned to live with it
And it gets harder
With every new sunset
Forever relentless I play the cards
I play the cards I get

It's just this darkness
It's a fog that rolls right in
Leaving me defenseless
But I've learned to live with it
And it gets harder
With every new sunset
Forever relentless I play the cards
I play the cards I get

I would like to shine a light
Leave it on display
There ain't no troubled water
No bridge for me to cross
Just space and time and learning how
To cope with what we've lost
