WHY IS HAPPY ALSO SAD?

CATHRYN STONE

Why is happy also sad

Why is a blue day also glad

Why is the firefly making light

in the darkness of his flight

Why does the stream still flow up hill

Why does a memory hang around and haunt us still

Why do those birds fly into snow

Leaving the sun, oh

When I’m missing you

I don’t know what to do

It seems like such a waste of love

To spill it out without a cup

To give it out and no receiving

Endless trying and believing..

Just when I feel my heart about to break

You give me a sign that it’s not quite over

Keeping the light in my heart a little longer

hope for a love forever lost..

Why do the trees glow so bright in the autumn

Just as their leaves are about to fall

Don’t they know the summers over?

Oh, hope is a fool and I am a fool

To keep on hoping..

I DON’T KNOW MY NAME

CATHRYN STONE

 I don’t know my name

 Somewhere along the line I lost my way

 Thought if I was somebody else

 Maybe I might find myself..

 I became someone “better”

 Did things that I never thought I’d do

 And I gave my heart away to you

 And you ripped it right in two, right in two.

 I kept my boat up on that river

 Thought I’d see some light along the way

 But the sky kept turning back to grey

 And my heart hurt for yesterday

For yesterday…

Now I’m left with these two memories

 Of who I was and who I became

 And both of those just fill me with shame

 So I don’t know my name.
