MISTAKES OF LIFE
written by Garry Garrison

The memories wore my daddy down
with those dreams he couldnt drown
in the whiskey wine or women
and the way he made his way around
My daddy wore my momma down
the way he ran all over town
She couldnt keep her heart from breakin'
She gave up tryin' and walked away

Two lovers lost the vows they'd taken
Two lives changed, by the roads they'er on
No one could try, or find a way
to save the love, they lost that day.


Twenty eight years, with no words spoken
just the echo, of the two hearts broken
and still inside, those empty souls
beat the broken hearts, that love still holds

So many years, have come and gone
without a word, on what went wrong
and silence holds, the answers still
with a life now gone, he had his fill


A broken heart just cant be healed
without the love it needs to feel
so daddys gone, and we buried him
in a spot i know, he rest's well in
Some quiet place, where he could sleep
and wait for her ....

So when its time, for her to go
I know i'll do, the same there too
I'll hold her hand, like i held his too
and i'll whisper, go, he waits for you
And i'll see the tears, well in her eyes
when she see's him there, by her side


And then they'll lay, there in the ground
side by side, six feet down
Somehow I know, They'll understand
The things at times, that escape a man
No need for words, without the pain
No hate left , in that quiet rain
A gentle mist will come their way,
and the mistakes of life will be washed away
