Nominated for "Best Original Song" at the 2006 Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards

lyrics

We, we never made a perfect pair
But three sides have made me feel like such a square
You, you introduced him as a friend
The truth would only hurt me in the end


I've wasted my days, standing in line
Defending your ways, and waiting for a sign
Knowing too late, and being too blind
Now as I leave, glancing behind, I'm willing to grieve
But you might believe I don't mean my goodbye
If ever I cried


Truth is often wasted on the young
Youth is only tasted when it's gone


I've wasted my days, standing in line
Defending your ways, and waiting for a sign
Knowing too late, and being too blind
Now as I leave, glancing behind, I'm willing to grieve
But you might believe I don't mean my goodbye
If ever I cried


I draw the line after serving my time
Accused of the crime of not being there
We never tried so our love slowly died
As we sat side-by-side playing solitaire
Not much to say, that was some New Year's Day
It seems that I paid for the wine that you shared in your lair
Secret stare, you didn't care


I've wasted my days, lost all my nights
A fool on display under steaming red lights
Knowing too late, and being too blind
Now as I leave, glancing behind, I'm willing to grieve
But you might believe I don't mean my goodbye
If even one tear came away from my eye
You might believe I don't mean my goodbye
If ever I cried

Allister Bradley Wellesley, Ontario

Singer/Songwriter/Pianist/Producer/Engineer and many more things to many more people, Allister still can't decide what he wants to be when he grows up. His music can perhaps be described as modern folk, since it contains rich storytelling and imagery, but it might be mistaken for Smooth Jazz, Roots or AC. You decide.

Any way you describe it, Allister's music will reach deep within and satisfy ... more
