SEASON OF FORGETTING
            song written by Stephen Fields


  It's not that I 
                   was treated so badly.
  It's not that I was hurt beyond repair.
  But tell me why, 
                   so unexpectedly,
  why did you stop pretending that you cared?
  My only crime was I tried too hard.
  Time after time when you let down your guard....
     Season of forgetting,
     there's a point of no return.
     When comes the letting
                             go
       of all the years we yearned?

  Maybe the truth 
                   is somewhere in-between
  What I recall and what I heard you say.
  Blame it on youth, 
                     say we were young and lean.
  Just never tell me I was in the way.
  Would you deny I had any role at all,
  right in the time that comes before a fall....
     Season of forgetting,
     there's a point of no return.
     When comes the letting 
                             go
       of all the years we yearned?

  Nothing I sing,
                    nothing I write in stone
  Changes the thing that went on long before.
  It's not my way 
                    and not for me alone.
  I wouldn't try, at least, not any more.
  Call it a loss then throw it on the fire,
  One easy toss, from this contest I retire....
     Season of forgetting,
     there's a point of no return.
     When comes the letting
                             go
       of all the years we yearned?
