Atone
I can see you slipping away
yet there is nothing I can do,
there is nothing I can say.
Love comes with a price,
a price I am willing to pay.
I will always be here waiting
in case there comes a day
when you have need for me
in some small caring way…
is there something I can do
is there something I can say
to calm your aching heart
and send the sadness away?
For everything there is a season
a time for love and a time alone
and for each there is a reason
for which I am trying to atone.
