about

This is a song I wrote almost 30 years ago, but just got around to working it out. It will go on the new record, but since that might be a while, I wanted to go ahead and release it.

lyrics

I haven't felt myself for a year now
Without you
I miss you
My wife and I, all we do is fight
Every night
While the baby cries

Sometimes I drive and park by your old home
In Sunnymeade Circle all alone
Hoping I could remember how I used to feel
I was wrong
It's long gone

Vanessa what have I done?
I can't believe what I've come to be without you
You're in the California sun
What will become of me without you

I wanted to be with you, but I wouldn't say
Then she came and took me away
I was young and the sex was great, really great
And that was love in those days

Now I'm stuck back here in my hometown
Patricia told me you were bound for the west
Like we'd talk about on your lawn
You'd say you're long gone

Vanessa what have I done?
I can't believe what I've come to be without you
You're in the California sun
What will become of me without you

You told me on my wedding day
You wanted to storm the church and say
This can't be, it's supposed to me
But you didn't and I said "I do"

Vanessa what have I done?
I can't believe what I've come to be without you
