Carel

I’ve been saying Saying I’ve been on my own And I’ve been saying Saying I’m all alone Don’t wanna be away Away from your holidays Yesterday it snowed Somehow we lifted a lighter load And I wandered I wonder where you went The beauty in fallen leaves The bronze and auburn tint Shaded by a breeze I’ve been saying Saying I’ve been on my own And I’ve been saying Saying I’m all alone Don’t wanna be away Away from your holidays I’ve cursed my aptitude Stranded And to no one I allude What more is there to prove A warm touch is something I could use I used to say, “I don’t know how to lose” But lately I’m walking in everyone else’s shoes I’ve been saying Saying I’ve been on my own And I’ve been saying Saying I’m all alone Don’t wanna be away Away from your holidays My holiday song this year I’ve brought myself away from tears The cold, it chills my bones But my stones are rolling home "a song i wrote to john mayers "waiting""

Beautifully written here, Jerry and even though I'm not familar with the tune, it definitely reads like a song ... smile ... hope you and yours have a good holiday and that 2010 is a blessed year for you!!
