Good Day to Start (Erin’s lament)

Music by Andy Bertelsen

 Lyrics by Andy Bertelsen and Matt Pigg

Midnight come early this evening

Lonliness was in the air

And I found myself grieving

Feeling more than my share

So I went through empty boxes

Of promises in print

Recounting all my wins and losses

In letters that I had never sent

Chorus:   and I’m alone again

                        On the back side of another twelve o’clock

I’m at home with no friends

I’m staring at the telephone and wishing I was not

 I’m just waiting for someone to come and tear me all apart

So if you were waiting baby hesitating to break my heart

This would be a real good day to start

Sometimes I scare myself so badly

That I can’t hardly sleep

Everything just seems so heavy where I’m at

Underneath these one ton sheet

So I light myself a fire

And let it burn out my brain

I sit and wait for the flicker of desire

To turn to ashes turn to ashes in the teardrops of rain

Chorus
