Forgotten Lyrics

In the mist of a chilly dawn on a dew-soaked lawn

She rises to another day already worn

Surrounded by all that she owns

Like the walls of her home

Forgotten, but never for long!

Just by chance I saw her face and my thoughts were torn

By the portrait of a life that glance had drawn

I watched as her eyes chose to see just what used to be

Forgotten, but never for long!

And she finds a place to sleep each night

Before the sun turns out its light

To brush away her daylong plight

Closing her eyes to hard times

I'd like to think she's found her way

I don't see her around today

I guess her home right on the bay was

Not quite what she was after

Now the sky drops a hint of dawn on a frosty lawn

And a whisper of morning air says I'm out too long

In silence, the world lets you know

When things sometimes go

Forgotten, but never for long!

For the times when I complain that life could

Treat me in a better way

Having known her always helps me say

Things could be so much sadder!

Yeah, and though it seems the price is high to pay

There's really not much I can say

There ought to be a better way to

Teach fools like me to smile more!
