Caulfields - The Day That Came And Went lyrics

rate me

I don't remember much about you<br />

I was barely seven when Mom came home without you<br />

But I knew right then<br />

Life was changing fast<br />

I don't know why I remember these things<br />

Your pipe tobacco and the pinch of a bee sting<br />

Entwined together in a memory long passed<br />

<br />

CHORUS<br />

As the years go by I remember the moments<br />

The sound of your voice<br />

Your particular sent<br />

Sometimes I eulogize<br />

I mythologize<br />

Secnes cut from a day that came and went<br />

<br />

Whenever dusk falls in April or May<br />

I feel like I'm back in the yard where I played<br />

And it feels like the day I knew you'd gone away<br />

They never let me say goodbye to you<br />

They thought I was too young and wouldn't know what to do<br />

But I'm telling you right now<br />

That was their mistake<br />

Why did you leave me<br />

Why did you go right then<br />

Did you know somehow that I'd never be what I am<br />

If you were here to guide my hand<br />

To this day
