A reflection on the lost potential of relationships
that begin and end so quickly, so ephemerally.

HAD I NOT RUN AWAY
Autumn 1984, Brooklyn NY

I may not ever see the likes of you again
I may not ever know the timeless feelings we shared
I may not ever swim the fragrant spice of Summer

    Had I not run away from your love
    I might not be runnin' today
    I had a lot to learn from your love
    But somethin' deep inside would not let me stay
        And I'm so far away...

I may not ever see the likes of you again
I may not ever know the deeper secrets we shared
I may not ever fly through the majesty of Winter

    Had I not run away from your love
    Had I not run away from you
    Had I not run away

        I might be singin' a happier tune
        Might be spendin' the month of June
        And you might be there in the afternoon
        Might be wearin' gold under a silver moon...
