Beggars

When I saw you in the morning light
I just held my place
And it goes that with a little time
We give our memories grace

We were choosing opportunity
Over wrong and right
Was the target worth the vanity?
Was it worth the sacrifice?

Only beggars we were
All these lessons we learn
We can never return
We can never return

Stack of letters in the bottom drawer
All the ink turned grey
And I've tried at least a thousand times
To throw them away

And my thoughts all turn to questions now
Of the paths we take
Is the one you took the better road?
When you walked away

Only beggars we were
All these lessons we learn
We can never return
We can never return
Only beggars we were
All these lessons we learn
We can never return
We can never return

Sometimes I see the journey back there
Sometimes I wanna go
Rid the lining from my memory
Let the truth be known
