Don’t Look Back
Robin Trower
Pale and drawn like a winter sky
He sits and stares into an unlit fire
Pages turned, not one line read
But scenes replay inside his head
Once her day was warm routine
She sowed the seed a home so clean
She closed her eye, moments in the Sunday
Now she blames herself, shame for everyone
Don't look back - there's too much pain
When you weigh the loss before the gain
Don't swim out on the torn dark sea
To drown in doubt and self pity
Don't look back
Stores away and neatly filed
Mother first then only child
Flowers fresh, stones of white
Sunshine days turned starless night
Don't look back - there's too much pain
When you weigh the loss before the gain
Don't swim out on the torn dark sea
To drown in doubt and self pity
Don't look back
