Afterlife Lyrics
"Abandoned"

ABANDONED
music and lyrics by Mike Hudson

What in the world was going through your mind last night
You picked a fine time to not leave on the light
You try to erase mistakes you made, to no avail
But I can not explain, I've no new tale to tell

In the blinking of an eye
We said our last goodbye
Like the sinking of a ship
And we all abandoned it
(We all abandoned it)

How do you sleep at night with all this on your head
Don't you wish that you had left some things unsaid
And as the pages turn the story soon unfolds
How could you leave them all behind to face the cold

I...hear you calling out
From so far away
But I don't listen
You...left me, a little child
Alone and scared
To face the wild!

You oughta know by now, you can not displace time
Or rearrange events you're desperate to hide
Who knows which way tomorrow's winds will blow
You dug your grave now you must lie in it alone
