Sit Up and Be Still
I sit up and look down at things going on in town
this town...it's not so much to leave behind,
it's you so much on my mind
still so heavy on my senses
no greener grass, no upright fences
the band is packing up now, most everyone is gone
it's so cruel how time marches on
when I've always fought so hard to keep it still.
I sit up and look down
the tightening and the tingling come
and I'd give anything for the cold to make me numb
as the tears well up
teetering just on the brink
then let go and roll down
at the inevitable blink.
You see, it's because I'm in love with you
but it's no matter, I cannot remain
nor can I even share the pain
for no one can know about you
this love I must forever hide
forced to keep the sad inside.
Yes, there will be other towns
other ups and other downs
other bands with other songs to play
other times to sit up and say
tomorrow is yet another day
to sit up and look down and remember when
another day to fight the wind
of tomorrows that will come again...
until such a time that time does end
and I will love you even then.
