Maybe She Will

(album: American Lesion - 1997)

Laws of gravity fight uncertainty
But I sit here without a clue
Life had different meaning and I was only dreaming
Someone else came to her rescue
Now she's gone and I am too

Maybe she will want to have me near enough to feel unparted
Maybe she will ask me for some help to get her new place started
Maybe she will see me 'round and want to take a mid-day walk
Maybe just feel lonely and will want to talk with me

In cold and darkest weather the times we had together
Come to me and I smile to sleep
Then clouds dissipate and I soon re-awake
To such a living tragedy
I'm resolved to pondering

Maybe she will call me up to see if i am doing alright
Maybe she will remember the times when i would hold her so tight
Maybe she will think about the letters that I used to send
Someday change her mind and want to find me again

They all say i'm wasting my whole life away
But I don't care because i have this candle from our courting days
And it's almost gone but dim hope flickers anyway

Maybe she will look at those old pictures and get teary-eyed
Maybe she will feel my lonely heartbeat and hear me cry
Maybe she will help me shovel out of this misery
One day say she's sorry for giving up on me

Maybe she will
