  • For some reason, today I thought of you
    Thought I'd look you up, see what you'd been up to
    How long's it been? Ten years or maybe more
    Since I told you not to call me, shut you out and closed the door
    I'm sorry, I know it hurt but I'd moved on
    The memories remained but the sentiment was gone
    We belonged to the darkness and the moon
    But I found a light so bright, thought I might live in its sun

    Then today while walking lost, I saw a sign
    That without effort brought your name to mind
    So I decided to reach out after so long
    Decided how we left, it was all wrong
    It's okay to move on, but we don't have to close the door
    And after all, what are real friends for?
    So I went home thinking I would try to call you
    I searched your name and then I saw the news
    That there was no more you

    I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter
    And there was a time that I knew one
    But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth
    Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn

    I used to write so many songs about you
    Long after you went home that day
    I laid alone so many nights without you
    I spent years just hoping that you were okay
    I cried an ocean of tears
    Hoping it'd wash the pain away
    But then today I read the news, you were gone
    You'd left a year ago, chose to check out and move on

    I guess the the pain became the only thing
    Each and every day would bring
    I'm sorry I wasn't there, wish I'd known
    I would've tried to give you love
    It'd been so long since I'd shown
    But then had I, maybe you'd be here today
    Suffering and crashing from sadness and its weight
    But in my heart, I guess I always knew
    Somehow one of us would end this way
    So what's done is done, now there's nothing left to say

    I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter
    And there was a time that I knew one
    But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth
    Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn

    One more glass of wine for a love so true
    Then another and another, for today one just won't do
    There's no happy endings, only stories that stop before they're through

    I hear there's faeries out on Jupiter
    And there was a time when I knew one
    But today I'm feeling way down here on Earth
    Crying tears of love in the light of mourning dawn Writer/s: JS Simpson
