13 Years

Words/Music: Don de Leaumont

In the sands of mind you are footprints left behind

but these pictures lead me there again.

The days seemed so simple, life was not yet a race

to grow up, grow out, grow in.

Smiles captured in time, once were close friends of mine.

Time carries me from now to then.

I was left unsmiling, in a darkened room.

Locked up, locked out, locked in.

    I'm tired of all these demons here.

    Tired of falling prey to my fears.

    13 years ago I tried, 13 years ago I cried.

    Left you alone it's what I had to do.

    It's been 13 years, since I last saw you.

Found myself in a time of change,

I knew that things couldn't stay the same.

I didn't like the man I was to become.

Another path awaited, companions there to guide me.

Helping me out, helping me in.

    I'm tired of all these demons here.

    Tired of falling prey to my fears.

    13 years ago I tried, 13 years ago I cried.

    Left you alone it's what I had to do.

    It's been 13 years, since I last saw you.
