about

The second song recorded for Sage To a Mountain. It's all just me. Latest version - May 25, 2021 - partially remixed and mastered by Pepe Ortega in Mexico City

lyrics

I'm lookin' for a reason to believe in this love, now you are gone
As the sun takes flight from the grip of another lonely dawn
India keeps callin' you and Holland needs your time
I know you've got your reasons to be leavin'
Still you're leaving me behind

And I'm waiting on the mailman just like Ahab lookin' for his whale
And he smiles but he doesn't understand my heart is in the mail
There's a man in Amsterdam and a girl in New Mexico
And I'm thinking that, much as I don't want to, it's time to let you go

So thank you for the tenderness
Oh, the candles and the wine
Thanks for believing in me
Almost all the time
I guess you'll never know
All the reasons why
It's so hard to say I love you and goodbye

Let's not pretend
That we were bound forever
I can't go on
Until this bond is severed

I wanted to believe that my heart could be an open door
But reality clipped my wings and left me here stranded on the floor
I need a love to call my own and to keep a faithful heart
And that can't be done in episodes, while ever we're apart

So thank you for the tenderness
Oh, the candles and the wine
Thanks for believing in me
Almost all the time
I guess you'll never know
All the reasons why
It's so hard to say I love you and goodbye
