I Never Knew

Paint it all black
I'd come running
A distant love affair
To crash in
I laid down
I never knew
Which way I was going
With the past
Still holding final say
I had lost the reins
All disappears
But the picture of you and I
Gulls in the bay
Under dark clouds of rain
Hazed in a life
Defined by reason
I've been finding it hard
To face the days
I carry on my way
The party was breaking
Candles burning down
I saw you away
Your car was out waiting
Going, gone
Standing in light
I see the colors change
I've been taking the long way
Down the gravel road
You'd often walk with me
And I find it hard
To tell this story
For a vacant heart
Withstands a strain
But seldom is honest seen
A light on the page
Still not turned over now
I thought it'd say
You were coming my way
But no
