MAYBE NEXT YEAR

MAYBE NEXT YEAR

LAST YEAR WAS A HARD ONE
BUT THE LESSONS THAT YOU REMEMBER
ARE THE ONES THAT ARE HARD WON
AND I BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE
BUT IT DOESN'T DO ME ANY GOOD
REGARDING YOU

NO TIME FOR THINKING ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
THAT MATCH HAS BURNED
NO SENSE IN TRYING TO LIGHT IT

WE USED TO SAY "MAYBE NEXT YEAR"
BUT BABY THEN YOU WENT AWAY
AND YOU LEFT ME HERE

NEXT YEAR WE HAD BIG PLANS
BUT NOTHING CLEARS THE CALENDAR
LIKE CANCER CAN
AND I KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE
BUT IT DOESN'T DO ME ANY GOOD
REGARDING YOU
