BEST LEFT By Tom Jensen
One single ray of light broke through the clouds
Touched down upon the ground that I was standing upon
My lover right beside me just stood in my shadow
By the time she made up her mind to move the light was gone
Though it was never discussed
This scene said so much about us
This strange phenomenon
Either she didn't notice or else didn't care
Just stood there in the cool, crisp air
At six minutes past dawn
But I know another girl who is made up of sunshine
She's waiting but I'm not sure if she's been waiting for me
She's someone who knows
Just how I'm feeling
Yet she's uncertain
If we were ever meant to be
So I asked her if I could come and see her
For it seems she's now ready to settle down
After five years of traveling across the country
She picked out a state
And said, "No more moving around"
And I've been searching for inspiration
For a new picture to place inside my frame
I have grown bored with everything around me
But I'm unsure of whom or what I blame
I've been seeking a new set of surroundings
A new life, a fresh face, a new name
I'm getting tired of waiting
For the time to be perfectly right
I'm packing my bags when I get home
And I'll be leaving some time later tonight
I'm unsure of my exact destination
I desire somewhere with a warmer locale
Maybe then I'll kick these winter time blues
And brighten up my entire morale
Yes, I've been searching for inspiration
For a new picture to place inside my frame
I have grown bored of everything around me
I've decided that things just can't stay the same
So I won't say that this story's finished
Only that soon I'll be heading west on a train
Sometimes you can't wait you must create your own fate
Find out if some things are best left...
