Writers: Bruce and Beth Scism / Gary Best

I lay down by the pillow where she’s been
Closing my eyes I breathe her in
Sleep will soon come for me
I pray, it brings relief

In the morning I will raise my weary head
Stumble over things I left unsaid
In the kitchen I turn to see
An empty room where our love used to be

I wade through a river of regret
No longer sail on an ocean of hope
Without her by my side, a part of me has died
I’m sinking in this river of regret

Instrumental Note: takes off on (overlaps) last measure of chorus

Daylight comes sneaking through the door
Bound to leave its footprint on my floor
[Still tears and][Dreams of] memories remain
Shadows of themselves they slip away

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
I’m sinking in this river of regret

JUST LISTEN!
Holy Shit! ...THIS is COOL!(and quite possibly "Holy" too! ...when considering the subject matter "Minerva") -M-
