Avenus Sans Pitie Poet Lyric

I Wrote a Song About That

From a town where the sun don’t shine, 
To overseas, but they called it mine. 
My heart in shadows of the street, 
Returning home I lost my feet, 
Faces changed, but not memories  
I wrote a song about that. 
 
Life has a way of teaching you pain, 
From child dreams to love's rain.
Every tear left its mark on my path, 
And through it all, I found my voice
I wrote a song about that.  
 
Then came the call of the sea, 
Navy blues and Merchant dreams.
Fighting battles and demons within,  
Came back with scars beneath my skin.  
A hero on paper but alone in this fight,
I wrote a few songs about that.  

Life has a way of teaching us pain,  
From child dreams to love's rain.  
Every tear left its mark on my path,  
And through it all, I found my voice
I wrote a song about that.
  
Love lifted me high above the ground,   
A Latina cruel, my heart almost drowned.   
She married a drunk; his heart never true—   
Haunted by her name; what could I do?   
Nights chasing after ghosts gone bad—    
I wrote a lot of songs about that.
   
Tijuana where the neon glows bright,    
Met a call girl who danced away the night.    
Her smile held secrets in her embrace;    
Our stories are lost in time and space.    
A moment lost forever just like that—     
And I wrote her a song about that.

Life’s has a way of teaching us pain,  
From child dreams to love's rain.  
Every tear left its mark on my path,  
And through it all, I found my voice 
I wrote a song about that.
  
I wander alone, to places unknown,
Each and every heartache carved into stone.     
Traveled the World and it never felt flat—    
Seems that I wrote a song about that.
