Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus - Missing You

Missing You

It’s October and the sky is cold again
Everybody says they’re leaving
In the darkness of this world
Men go out into the morning light
Looking hard for something worth believing
This town is changing in so many places
Last year’s dreams are gone, like snow
Old ideas have been scrapped
And my friends have different faces
I don’t know what you’d recognize as home

Me and Doug, down at the fishing hole
Got drunk, told stories about you
He told me his beliefs while I was playing my guitar
And I guess it was the spirit of your tune
That made us both close our eyes
And slip away into the past
That made us both swear
That you were singing too
And I was lost, but somehow I’ve been found again
Everything moves on in time it’s true
But that don’t mean that I’m not missing you
That don’t mean that I’m not missing you
