A Reason True
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I got lost on my back porch
I wandered off and stayed
I left the way I came
Like a dog without a name

I ran and kept on running
I was sure someone was coming
I never looked behind
They were only in my mind

There were demons in my pockets
They followed me around
Like your picture in a locket
Just something I had found

I had one more excuse
I had nothing left to lose
But that was never true
Just a story I would use

[bridge]

It made me sound a hero
A man who had survived
I loved to play the victim
Who barely 'scaped alive

[instrumental]

But the reason was always fear
I ran when time came near
You were the truth I could not face
You are the guilt I can't erase

I told you I would stay
That I would be there for you
I'd be there on the day
No one else, just me and you

But I left you all alone
The time came and I was gone
They said you cried on your own
This cannot be undone

[instrumental]

But the reason was always fear
I ran when time came near
You were the truth I could not face
You are the guilt I can't erase

I told you I would stay
That I would be there for you
I'd be there on the day
No one else, just me and you

But I left you all alone
The time came and I was gone
They said you cried on your own
This cannot be undone

This cannot be undone

This cannot be undone

[instrumental]

A Reason True

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

A Reason True

I and Ai
