Undefended

Written November 2001

Tab

I came to you undefended, you were most unimpressed,
there’s a fence that hasn’t mended since our sad little mess,
+++ and it’s hard to go home when that’s not where you’re from,
+++ in back of love lies regret, undefended..

I came to you as the ghost you pretend not to see,
& as for who lost the most, well we may never agree,
+++ and it’s hard as a stone when your world comes undone,
+++ in back of love lies regret, undefended..

there are holes in the air where your words used to be,
and it hardly seems fair, the way they both trouble me,
+++ it’s a hard double knot in the hands of a child,
+++ in back of love lies regret, undefended..
+++ ‘cause it’s hard to go home when that’s not where you’re from,
+++ in back of love lies regret, undefended…
