Forgotten Lyrics

John A. Salerno
In the mist of a chilly dawn on a dew-soaked lawn
She rises to another day already worn
Surrounded by all that she owns
Like the walls of her home
Forgotten, but never for long!

Just by chance, I saw her face and my thoughts were torn
By the portrait of a life that glance had drawn
I watched as her eyes chose to see just what used to be
Forgotten, but never for long!
And she finds a place to sleep each night
Before the sun turns out its light
To brush away her daylong plight
Closing her еyes to hard times

I’d like to think shе’s found her way
I don’t see her around today
I guess her home right on the bay was
Not quite what she was after

Now the sky drops a hint of dawn on a frosty lawn
And a whisper of morning air says I’m out too long
In silence, the world lets you know
When things sometimes go
Forgotten, but never for long!

For the times when I complain that life could
Treat me in a better way
Having known her always helps me say
Things could be so much sadder!

Yeah, and though it seems the price is high to pay
There’s really not much I can say
There ought to be a better way to
Teach fools like me to smile more!
