Sonoak - Purple

from Watkins Glen [Split] by Glass Frog & Sonoak

/

lyrics

You were the green leafed
Given I am the purple tree in your front yard
(Overlooking your balcony)
And I’ve never felt worse, then when the world cut you down
Are you just sawdust now?
(I could have sworn I saw you burning into ember then blowing away)*

I didn’t know you, as well as I should (as well as I should)
To me you were a picture that lasted forever, but now I can see
Past what has passed me
I was the passerby
In your shade for years
And I paid no mind; I just smiled and walked by
And I never thanked you; you were happy to watch me
Am I just a shadow cast?
Is it too late to ask?
(I want appreciation covering my body)*

Can I be forgiven? For time didn’t grant me
The wisdom to know and hold myself close
To flames I’m afraid of what I can’t see
Are you a ghost inside of me?
I’m a pupil to you, and to time
I should listen when you say goodbye

And on the ride home I hid my tears safe in my hands
I carried them in
Through the door I held them before
My guitar
I said one last song for the man
And the fact is I can’t understand it
And the sadness just blasted like static
And like magic we were young again
