Sorrow Season

Did the decor make it early?

Winter weather, my room is empty

I’d call more often in braver voices

A longer moment in nights of silence

The work is heavy, I dream of waking

All I know is my home is waiting

This holiday is…it’s complicated

I packed my cases like Christmas presents

I know I was the first to go

I know how much you said “please don’t”

For you, you had the best of reasons

But if I stayed, it’s sorrow season

The warmth of embers, your knitted sweater

I’d recognize in dim light memories

Why does time move so slow when I need it to go fast?

How does one’s heart break when all they say is love with all you can?

I know I was the first to go

I know how much you said “please don’t”

For you, you had the best of reasons

But if I stayed, it’s sorrow season

 

I’ll leave it all behind

Cause it’s sorrow season

(Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow)

I said a prayer for the first time in a hundred years

Cause I had no one to talk to

Is there a ticket in the greatest workshop up there

That can bring me home to you?
