Broken Rear View Mirror

Some song lyrics to some acoustical guitar tracks I recorded before I had to stop playing temporarily because of an injury... Purging emotions...Emotions put away alive never die...

"Broken Rear View Mirror"......song lyrics ©  Harlon Rivers 
.... genre alternative Americana

There’s a blur in the cracked rear-view mirror
Sometimes we learn so, so… slow
I’ve been measuring up the distance behind us
Measuring up the distance between me and you

You served up a coldness.. you just turned and walked away
Your heartless soul never looked back as you whispered
Oh you just walked away with a wrath left untold …
“I love you but I’m not in love with you”… yeh yeh

[chorus]
It’s hard to realize the changes when you get there
It’s hard to recognize you've arrived
Seeing is believing the changes
Now the traces are too hard to find

Do you remember that fading distant horizon?
The meeting moment of lost hearts and minds
It’s been a long long journey from there to back here and now
Fleeting memories lost since you vanished into thin air

Life reveals lost and forgotten memories
In a moment you’re found stuck in your mind
That day that the screen door slammed shut behind you
That day you were no longer mine

[chorus]
Its hard to realize the changes when you get there
It’s hard to recognize you've arrived
Seeing is believing the changes
Now the traces are too hard to find

When I looked into your big dark green eyes wide open
There’s lots of ways to hit the ground
I guess I’ll get along without your loathsome vision of me  
Living with just a melody …and  this lonesome mysteries’ song

There’s a blur in the cracked rear-view mirror
Sometimes we learn so, so… slow
I’ve been measuring up the distance between us
Pondering the distance stuck between me and you

[chorus]
It’s hard to realize the changes when you get there
It’s hard to recognize you've arrived
Seeing is believing the changes
Now the traces are too hard to find

I've been gauging the distance behind you
It’s become something so hard to say
It just breaks my heart to see you standing there
Now you’re the one lost and left standing alone

Left hanging in the thin midnight air’s coldness
Listening to the fading memory of leaving me home
Abandoning…slamming my screen door closed
Now all alone…Green eyes wide open crying blue

oh yeh… whoah oh oh
My eyes are wide open
I no longer can lean into you…no no no

I no longer fade into blue...
