Resignation

Resignation

Colton: I’m feeling saddend, For though I know the truth I’m not in my own home Nor under my own roof

Though yes I long for home I never can return I’ve shamed my reputation And set my soul to burn

Mira: The moon does not deceive I sense your family ties And though the desert puts them out I hear your mother’s cries

Colton: I know this That she pines for me But I have no way back My father will have sold my room For straying from the track I roamed away Alone my soul, In past I see my ways But I can’t fix my errors I can’t erase my days And how can I be sure That I’m welcome in my nest My mother will have lost for me And settled down to rest

Mira: But Colton you must trust in her Believe that she holds dear And every ripple in the lake Is like one of her tears

Colton: I’d like to say you’re right I wish I could think so But in my skull Deep in the bones I’m quite sure that I know I’ve resigned my self to living here Among your company And though you may not be my blood You’re my new family So speak of this no more It’s here I’ll live and die My old world is forgotten And I have said goodbye
