Ten Letter Word - Elway

Wrote out our history in chalk on the sidewalk

For miles it lined these gray city blocks

And down came the rain again to wash it all away

Are we so sadly fated?

Sweater and coat hung from my shoulders

I dug through the snow to read your reply

Now I’ve been sleeping sober and I feel twenty years older

Where did all of our time go?

Is it one of her regrets

The nights we spent drinking vodka and smoking cigarettes?

Can I ever get it back

The feeling that I have found everything that I lack?

I want to love you out loud

And chisel out a future in the sidewalk you turned down

But it seems my winter storms drag on forever

So how can I blame her for keeping warm?
