Where He Left Me (the song)

Inspired by Charles Dickens and the character Miss Havisham in his novel, GREAT EXPECTATIONS.



                   "Where He Left Me" (the song)

Verse 1

Reaching for the empty space
where he left me
cold and unadorned.
Chipped cups of stale tea,
an old faded table lace.
Who else would come to mourn?
Who would mourn?


Verse 2

Lovers known to no one,
secrets stored, memories locked
where he left me.
Dust wrapped music carefully boxed,
spiders and I weave and weep alone.
Who's there to find the key?
to find the key - the key.....


(chorus)

Second glances......
what did I see in the remembering?
Second chances.....
create our tapestry where he left me.
Second glances......
what did I see in the reminiscing?
Second chances.....
complete the tapestry that he left me!
he left me...he left me....


(guitar solo)

Verse 3

Wind and thunderous rain,
witnesses to the departing scene
where he left me.
Beseeching, lamenting sounds so keen
breaking my barren window pane.
Tear soaked years wear rust that plea.


Verse 4

Misty reflections in a cracked mirror
reaching for the empty space
where he left me unattended.
Unbroken cobwebs leave no trace.
Leave no trace...no trace
of a journey, smoky veiled and nearer
toward a place where love is mended.
where love is mended....is mended.....
where love is mended

(extended chorus and solo fade)
