The Cost

Lyric #4212 by RDP

He wakes up in the quiet
Morning light against the door
He moves a little slower than he did before

The world keeps rushing past him
Like it is trying to disappear
He reaches for the memories
But they are never quite as clear

He walks out to the garden
Where the sunlight used to shine
Where you both carved your names
In that big old pine
Back when love was in the air
When it was everywhere’s

Now every flower tells a story
Every stone knows what he as lost
And now he wonders if the beauty
Ever will balance out the cost
