lyrics
For the youngest father,
scrambling across the ice
looking for his sons
It comes as no surprise
that to be a man
means to apologize
and I was making lists of things you love
when I realized that you were giving up
So I made a promise
Lake in Carnation
frozen over and dark
you spoke slowly
still tripping on your words
left silence, deadest truth
and then muttered in love
the thought that every man will hold in vain
"it’s never quite too late to change."
Evelyn,
I made mistakes,
now let’s get on with it
scrambling across the ice
looking for his sons
It comes as no surprise
that to be a man
means to apologize
and I was making lists of things you love
when I realized that you were giving up
So I made a promise
Lake in Carnation
frozen over and dark
you spoke slowly
still tripping on your words
left silence, deadest truth
and then muttered in love
the thought that every man will hold in vain
"it’s never quite too late to change."
Evelyn,
I made mistakes,
now let’s get on with it
