Beggars

When I saw you in the morning light I just held my place And it goes that with a little time We give our memories grace We were choosing opportunity Over wrong and right Was the target worth the vanity? Was it worth the sacrifice? Only beggars we were All these lessons we learn We can never return We can never return Stack of letters in the bottom drawer All the ink turned grey And I've tried at least a thousand times To throw them away And my thoughts all turn to questions now Of the paths we take Is the one you took the better road? When you walked away Only beggars we were All these lessons we learn We can never return We can never return Only beggars we were All these lessons we learn We can never return We can never return Sometimes I see the journey back there Sometimes I wanna go Rid the lining from my memory Let the truth be known
