I Wish You Well

We met it seems a life ago

When youth was strong and love was bold

But now a fear has taken hold

Enough

Your eyes they held the promise of

It flew away that frightened dove

So now the push has come to shove

Enough

Won’t be the one to hold your hand

I hope. I beg. You’ll understand

I’ve drawn a line across the sand

My love I wish you well

I’ll miss your simple cotton dress

The feeling in my fingertips

The taste of you upon my lips

Enough

But our home was in a house of cards

The broken glass and mirror shards

Have left their mark in deepened scars

Enough

Oh though the night is colder

All of the lies are over

No longer on my shoulder now
