Across the bend

You should be happy you took my name
You should be glad I did the same
There’s a reason the sun goes down
And it always comes back around

There’s a season the trees go white
There’s a reason a dog will bite
It’s not a crime for a man to fold
When the lonely nights are cold

I gave you my heart and you put it on the mend
How could you race if you can’t see across the bend?
Don’t you feel like we’ve come too far
Your words are so deep that your pen leaves a scar

Do you remember when I was the one?
I was handsome, second to none
People came far to hear me play
But I had nowhere left to stay

I gave you my heart and you put it on the mend
How could you race if you can’t see across the bend?
Don’t you feel like we’ve come too far
Your words are so deep that your pen leaves a scar
