HE SAID SHE SAID By Tom Jensen
She woke up this morning
In a place she’d never seen before
She said…
I’m ready to turn the page but first I must close some doors
I thought that maybe I was learning but now I’m not so sure
I said, “You’ve got to hold on”
She said, “I’m not that strong”
“That’s okay” is what I respond
She said, “But I’m not where I belong…I took a right… But my right went wrong”
I said in time you’ll find if you keep on trying
You can hurdle your mind and leave it all behind
I can’t weather this storm
I can’t see the sunshine
The last words I heard from you was that…
All sense of hope was fading fast
But what you forget
Is that I cry, too
Unclench your fists and remember this
Given time all things must pass
Now I’ve found the rhyme
Have you found a reason?
Killing time it ‘tis the season
A bottle of wine can be so pleasing
I’m feeling fine now my minds at ease
She woke up this morning
In a place she’s never been before
She said…
I’m ready to turn the page
But first I must close some doors
I thought that maybe
I was learning but now I’m not so sure
I said, You’ve got to hold on
You say…
I’m not that strong
That’s okay is what I respond
She said…
But I’m not where I belong
I took a right but my right went wrong
I said in time you’ll find if you keep on trying
You can hurdle your mind and leave it all behind
You can weather the storm…
Maybe I can weather this storm
You can find your sunshine…
Maybe I’ll watch the sunrise
She woke up this morning
Or should I say this afternoon
Had she finally broken free?
I can’t tell it’s far too soon
She thought about the
Bridge she’s been burning
Her only way of escape
From this land of ruin
She said…
Well I’ve been burning bridges
But it’s better than burning crosses
When everyone seems suspicious
You start adding up your losses
End up breaking more than dishes
That’s how this whole thing got started
So choose wisely for what you’re wishing
I said try not to make things hard, kid
