I Could Make Any Excuse

from Beyond The Gate by Henry Crook Bird

/

lyrics

There’s a perch on the cliff side, Pacific north line
And it’s a four hour cruiser to any other town beside
On the dark roads ever crooked
Through the forest they wind
And I ain’t taken none of them in a painful long time

Oh, I could make any excuse
And God knows I’ve tried
But here I am meeting you again for the very first time

This time spent apart brings questions to bear
Am I now ready, and do you still care
Can we pluck out the pieces from the dusty thin air
Assemble a history from the fragments still there

Oh, I could make any excuse
And God knows I’ve tried
But here I am meeting you again for the very first time

I failed to give space for you to speak out your pain
I filled in its place all my anger and shame
For sins I’ve forgotten and some nebulous blame
I’ve been barking at a night sky that never knew my name
