This One's for You
ANNA ELIZABETH LAUBE
You sat in black in the dark all alone
The light in the bar on the stage softly shone
The snow outside swirling and the folks inside whirling about
And when I saw you it turned me inside out
We talked through the night, rehashin' our lives
Trading "I'm sorrys" and "How hard I trieds"
Then on the blue Berber rug in my basement room
With Blood On The Tracks and Harvest Moon
I wondered if you could build me a bridge
To a time when I believed in everything that I did
When the future was open and my heart hadn't broken just yet
Can you help me remember love I forget
As dawn's first light snuck into the sky
We whispered last words and then "Goodbye"
Do be do be do be do
Sweet first love, this one's for you
