Look at me one more time, say that again.
You realize you were never mine, so what is there to end?
Say that to me one more time, cuz I'm confused.
I realize you were never mine, but you're still so much to lose.
Haven't had a thing to drink since you've been gone.
All I do is just sit and think and wonder what went wrong.
And I fuss that there is no us, cuz that's how you say it has to be.
Hate to nag, but it's such a drag, they way that you turned off of me.
Would love to talk to you one more time, but I know it won't change your mind.
We realize you were never mine, but you were such a find.

pedalsteeldrummer - Strawberries and Cream

This will become a Calm Rads song after it's polished up a bit, but I recorded this last weekend and really like it, so here you go. 

With apologies to George Harrison. 

Lyrics:

What’s so great about a sunrise?
They happen almost every day
And that’s just about the size of it
And everything I wanted to say

I’d noticed that her orbit
Had gone elliptical and strange
Now she’s like a lost satellite
Moving faster out of range

She was the single light of my life
She made everything seem alright
She was the only one 
I ever really wanted to see
But there goes the sun
And there goes my baby

For more than four billion years, it’s floated there burning away
At least that’s something I once heard Carl Sagan say
But this is a record that ends today
And what’s the point of time and space anyway?

We all want someone to circle round
In the vast, deep dark of space
Out there nothing makes a sound
And now I’ve lost something that I can’t replace

She was only light of my life
I even tried to make her my wife
She was the only one 
I ever really wanted to see
But there goes the sun
And there goes my baby
Yeah, there goes the sun 
And there goes my baby

Lockdown

For too long I’ve played along
Waiting for a rainy day
Never lied but kept inside
Hoping you would pull away

But you’re still here
You’re still here 
You’re still here
You’re still here

Pale blue eyes reflect the skies
Piercing through my very own
Words are hung beneath my tongue
Maybe you already know

But you’re still here
You’re still here 
You’re still here
You’re still here

It’s not a lie if you don’t say anything
It’s not a lie if you don’t know what I mean
It’s not a lie if I’m only hiding
It’s not a lie if I don’t say anything

One by one the job is done
Saying what I had to say
Watch you sit and ponder it
Waiting till you walk away

But you’re still here
You’re still here 
You’re still here
You’re still here

Still Here

I dug down to the fault lines
And patched em up as best I could
You got lost on my better side
And it didn’t do you any good

I know what I have to say but I need to hold you one more day
It’s a habit I’m finding it hard to break
You know what I have to do but I just can’t give up loving you 
It’s a habit I’m finding it hard to break

You struck coal when you met me
Its what I tried to warn you bout
You caught fire when you held me
And someone has it put it out

I know what I have to say but I need to hold you one more day
It’s a habit I’m finding it hard to break
You know what I have to do but I just can’t give up loving you 
It’s a habit I’m finding it hard to break

Habit
