I've Run Out of Damns
Girl I'm glad you found my tear-soaked shoulder
Let me nod my head and hold your hand
but no matter how much i want to hold you
honey, i just don't give a damn
it's not that I'm unsympathetic
it's not that I don't understand
if i had one left, I'd gladly give it
but darling, i've run out of damns
When I was young my heart was open
I had so many damns to give
I'm older now, my heart's been broken
and sadly, I'm plumb out of damns
now flying f***s; I've shared them freely
sometimes i even gave a sh**
there's oh so much i 'd like to give you
but honey, I'm clean out of damns
One time a rat's hind parts I proffered
to show how much I really cared
but now, although my mind's still willing
In terms of damns, my cupboard's bare
Darling, had I known you'd come back
Girl you know i would have planned
but the wind is gone and I'm gone with it
cause frankly, I've run out of damns.

Just a stop along the way

Just a stop along the way
he's thinking that he lost her
that he could have made her stay
imagining tomorrows
but finding only yesterdays
So she'll catch her breath
as he holds her tight
stay cradled in his open arms
til she takes flight
he was a safe place to land
he was a gentle place to stay
but he was never her destination
just a stop along the way
he was never in her future
and all too quickly in her past
he might try with all his might
but he could never make it last
the fragile fleeting present tense
raised his hopes before it dashed them
took his checks but never cashed them
left him waiting by the phone
His sights were set on a place in her heart
instead of just her memories
she'll remember him fondly
as she gives her love to another
but he was never a destination
just a stop along the way
like last summer's faded photograph
like the memories of a kiss
he was never the destination
just a stop along the way
Just a stop along the way
