Early To Bed
Dan is gone with no regret
Blamed myself could not forget
His eyes were always reddened from the tears wiped from his face
I could never quite tell why he couldn't tell me
Where has he been
Was he hiding in the field waiting for night
So he could sleep underneath the stars
Now he sleeps in the skies
No more reason to hide his face
No more reason to block his eyes
Never told a soul why he couldn't resist the urge to cry
Everyone would just point and stare
Not a single ounce of care
In his head all he could see all the flashback memories
But nobody ever said a thing
Now he has his wings
He watching down on everybody who never showed him a bit of sympathy
Yet now they gather around his stone
And now they see what he had been through at home
Never too late to say sorry but it can be to early say good bye
Now they visit everyday
To try to understand his pain
Thirty years from now they'll still do the same
And every time they see a cry for someone to hear
They will try to hold him close
Wishing it was Dan so they could help overcome his fear
