Analysis of Forgotten Times
Scott Frink 1976 (Ct)
I want to be happy
Go outside lift my head to the sun
Yell out thank you for what you have done
But I’m undone
I’ve come far
But not far enough
A star in the sky that looks like it has company
But in reality it’s alone
Move in each direction throw a stone
Nope alone
Time is gone
A relapse to the past
Happiness here never last
Joy, I can’t ask
Take it back
The last chapter
Played by a bad actor
Live a life where that life is not a factor
Bow my head
Because I can’t lift it anymore
A tale told
Is a lie said
A final resting place
Is the only time I make my own bed
The head fills the heart with sorrow
Tomorrow is a past I can’t forget
Think about it
You’ll get it
