Pensacola

As we crossed the bridge over Mobile Bay

I had yet to realize that this was the day

Our hearts were as one or so it felt

But I was not certain of the card I’d been dealt

Our plan, our purpose, our reason for being so far south

Was changed in your mind, it came from your mouth

What was, was gone, no choice but to start again

Could I find it in me, still to be a good friend

The rage and the anger, the sorrow and the guilt

Our love was a home, a stronger foundation it had built

The feeling is similar here, echoes of the past ask how

Please love me for me, is what I am pleading now
