dirty trick

 And at the dinner table

It's my parents and me
I sneak looks at the two of them
To see what they need from me

And later she calls me over
Where she sits alone
She's polishing a silver ring
I've never seen before

She says this was Molly's
It was her mother's ring
I'm keeping it for you
As she kept it for me

Oh, it's time to go
Oh, it's time to go
It's a dirty trick this growing old

Song for Molly- Lucy Kaplansky

Long Way Home

 

 Summertime, summertime

said goodbye at the garden wall
From the house I can hear my momma callin'
Winter come to us all my friend
Just as every childhood has an end"

 Ray LaMontagne

To Live Is to Fly

 

Where you been is good and gone / All you keep is the getting there”.

-Townes Van Zandt

leaving you

 

But there's no reason to say good-bye

Leaves fall as the trees give up the view
And lies will fall away, leaving you

So don't keep waiting around
For some words to be found
Saying "Everything's fair in love, and war"
The truth has changed how I see
Now you look different to me:
You are not who I loved before
I dreamed it was true, what I saw in you
'cause that's what a dreamer does
But the love that I dreamed is not what it seemed
I guess that it never was
So I will say my good-byes, but not to your eyes
For the one that I loved is gone, somehow
For without all the lies, without that disguise
You're just a stranger now
