Beneath the stars you stole away
A final quest to end the pain
And why you took the easy road
I’ll never know
22 was not the caliber of your soul
They say it wasn’t you
That the pieces came unglued
And all that time you died inside
No one ever knew
Remember that night when you talked with me?
Playing cards, drinking bitter coffee
Though you hated the taste we’d have talked for days
You gave me friendship
I offered nothing, I’m afraid
And why you took the easy road
I’ll never know
22 was not the caliber of your soul
They say it wasn’t you
That the pieces came unglued
And all that time you died inside
No one ever knew
Remember that night when you talked with me?
Playing cards, drinking bitter coffee
Though you hated the taste we’d have talked for days
You gave me friendship
I offered nothing, I’m afraid
They say it wasn’t you
That the pieces came unglued
And all that time you died inside
No one ever knew
