HAPPY EXIT SONG

Today is a great day. I want it to be.
I heard it’s my birthday so I’m happy for me.
But for all of the nothings, I couldn’t leave.
I still smile with ease and with eyes tired I dream.
Today is a great day. I choose it to be.
I heard it’s a Wednesday or so I have to believe.
‘Cuz for all of the somethings, I couldn’t leave.
I still dream with ease as I invoke memories:

She had her feet dipped in that water so cold shivers washed ashore.
But we held her hands as enthused she stepped into Maine’s sandy ocean floor.
It was a moment of grace, well worth the drive just to see her face.
Daughter asleep, we dressed in finer clothes and we talked through our hats
We sat and drank and got up to moonlit streets; it was simple yet beautiful
And it was a moment of grace, well worth the drive just to see your face.

Oh my Love, how wrong did we go? I would trade these motions for some meaning.
Or I’d rather drive with you than again be leaving (‘cuz I’d go).
But oh my love, now that I do know, I see many truths that I should be chasing.
But I’d rather drive with you than again be dreaming (but I’d go).

I know...
My daughter she would not want me to go
As a father I should not want me to go
Loving you means living with these woes
I want us to be truth, so truth be gold

Today is a great day. I need it to be.
I’ll live it the right way. With strength at heart and I’ll see.
