about

The second-saddest song I've ever written. It is set during an overcast evening in Vancouver, British Columbia.

NOTE: If you send me an email (carl@honeybrownblues.com) asking to hear the saddest song I've ever written, I will send it to you. Be warned, though: it's really fucking sad.

lyrics

Here is the time
And here is the consequence
We're of no mind
To act on these things we sense

The last night in town
The end of our holiday
There's so little doubt
We can't go on this way

But for now
Just smile
And I
Will smile
With you

Let's find a quiet spot
It's starting to rain
We can't see the mountaintops

A drink and a smoke
Dance the rest of the night
And still hold out hope
Until closing time arrives

But for now
Just smile
And I
Will smile
With you

I feel it, too
How happy we both are
But sadness is never far
Away

Here is the time
And here is the consequence
I'll pretend it's right
If you pretend this makes sense

Life will go on
And we will move on somehow
We both know we're wrong
But we're too weak to change things now

But for now
Just smile
And I
Will smile
With you
