Testo Good Fences

I always wondered what the night says to the dawn,
do they acknowledge their failure as the hand off power to the sun?
Does the ocean say goodbye as it slinks away from the sand?
Is there nostalgia as the water draws back its icy hand?
I never had a Virgil who kept me safe from the demons along the way
and I never knew a Dante to rewrite a history that I couldn't escape.
I came to terms a long time ago
that there will be nobody left to sing these songs to should I grow old. As if I even had a choice in the matter.
It was the times that we had, it was decisions that we made,
it was believing in something, even if it was fake.
Of course I've had regrets, of course I've felt shame,
I've lived this life day-by-day so of course I've made mistakes.

My neighbor, can you see me?
The way I imagine that I see you?
My neighbor, do you hear me?
Lord knows that I have listened to you.
And oh lover, do you feel me?
The way I thought that I felt about you, I turned that page,
I turned that page,
I turned that page but the ink still stains my hands.
