NorthStar

North Star - Sean Douglas

The mouth of Medieval Canon

Just south of the house when you planned

All the birthday vacations

My graduation so expertly

Lately

When I go to visit

I hate to see

The place that we've never been

Yards of grown

The life of broken

The year under my region

I remember what you tought me

But it don't seem academic

I still can't apply it

Day and night my secrets and my white lies

Are warning the same warning the same

Since you passed away

I hope your memory keeps every truth you left me

From falling apart

When I'm in the dark

Can't stop searching for the north star

Wasting all of the money you gave me

With nothing forthcoming

Chasing the dream

That you said you believed in

But I've lost faith

Every shread of promising me

Was my connection to you

I'm trying to hold on to it

Day and night my secrets and my white lies

Are warning the same warning the same

Since you passed away

I hope your memory keeps every truth you left me

From falling apart

When I'm in the dark

Can't stop searching for the north star

None of your picture

Hints where you are

I travel around down and in your old car

But it won't take me very far

Day and night my secrets and my white lies

Are warning the same warning the same

Since you passed away

I hope your memory keeps every truth you left me

From falling apart when I'm in the dark

Can't stop searching for the north star

The north star
