"My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours. Maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track, you and I,of these stories of who we are and where we have come from and the people we have met along the way because it is precisely through these stories, in all their particularity,as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us most powerfully and personally."

I get up while your still asleep

and put the news on the tv
put the coffee on
and the crickets are singing their song
and then i hear the shower start
and im practicing my part
and i tell you i tried
but if i did i dont why
if i did i dont know why
and I meet you in the hallway one more time
oh you know I thought about it till just plain sick inside
and I never knew what was on your mind
but i never get you out of mine
i never get you out of mine
i never get you out of mine
ive been waiting on you
believe me i know that you’ve been waiting on something too
cuz all you ever wanted was the truth
kiss you bye again aint nothing new
i beat myself up till im just black and blue
i never knew what to say to you
but all you wanted was the truth
but all you wanted was the truth
all you wanted was the truth
well the truth is i loved you since the day we were born but I don’t anymore
I don’t anymore
not with the wind creeping round my door
not with the letter laying on the floor
