COUNTING UP THE DAYS
Words & Music by Richard X. Heyman, Copyright 2013
I gave my last six years to only one
Til I strayed away and it all became undone
I left my home far behind now I can’t return
But I can’t remain here with all these miles to burn
And I’ve been counting up the days
Before I leave, locked in my ways
Don’t have me turn around to say
That I’m here to stay, don’t count on me to stay
I’m only here on a rebound from my friend
No more than a detour, no less than a means to an end
I never meant to dwell, merely passing through
How could I have known that I’d run straight into you?
And I’ve been counting up the days
And now I’m too locked in my ways
To ever change my mind to say
That I’m here to stay, don’t count on me to stay
It’s easy to remember but it’s so hard to forget
Love lost like an ember that hasn’t dampened yet
And I’ve been counting up the days
Before I leave, locked in my ways
Don’t have me turn around to say
That I’m here to stay, don’t count on me to stay
