I can't say that I miss my old dog much
And I've never looked back since I left home long ago
But I hoped a trip into the country

Would help remind me all the things I used to know

That's what I came for

That's what I hoped for

There once was good blood in the breeze here

We rode across the lake each new year
What have I remembered
What did this used to be


The ice, it used to shine upon our river
It was a mirror that the cold dark water ran way deep beneath

And here were many years of winter drownings
I kept track of these things as they were told to me


And that's what I looked for
That's what I came for...


The changes of the year were once a blessing
Well this year they're the seasons of my discontent
But I cannot rewrite my old diaries

I can only recall all the things that came & went

But that's what I'd come for

And that's what I'd hoped for...
