Let a little bit
of that old hate go.
Let some peace settle in,
like the first deep snow.
If you break a little bit
and the tears do flow,
that’s okay,
we know
that’s just the way it goes.
I’ve been worrying
a lot for you.
Don’t have many friends
and I’ve lost a few.
Thinking about things
that you’ve got to do
is like waiting for coffee
you forgot to brew.
Don’t let the day
get away from you.
we’re all sitting here
a little bit confused.
Banged up, battered, and bruised.
Like old tools,
still waiting to be used.
Winter’s comin’ soon,
we all know.
Probably a good idea
to let that old hate go.
