Prompt / Lyrics
“She was my home… long gone…” [Verse 1] In the shadow of the Badlands sky, Where stars would whisper, you and I. She smiled like dawn across the plains, And love began with summer rains. [Verse 2] A hostess grace, a cook’s worn hands, Two dreamers drawing wedding plans. She played the keys, I strummed the chords, Our hearts in tune, in sweet accord. [Chorus] Now I dream her arms around me tight, Her laughter floating through the night. Though decades passed and hearts moved on, She was my right, I was her wrong. I let her go, the greatest sin… And lost the life we could’ve been. [Verse 3] We planned a life beneath God's skies, But I could not forgive the lie. Too young to bend, too blind to see, She changed her heart, not love for me. [Verse 4] She built a life, she found her way, While I chased ghosts and slipped away. No arms have held me quite the same, No love has ever said my name. [Chorus 2] Now I dream her arms around me tight, A moonlit ghost in morning light. And though I’ve walked through love and flame, No one else ever knew my name. I called it off — the deepest sin… And lost the life we could’ve been. [Bridge] At sixty-nine, I see it clear, She was my peace when she was near. But fools let angels slip away, And live to dream of yesterday. [Final Chorus] So let me dream her one more time, In Medora’s hush, with stars that shine. Though I wake with tears again, She'll always be my might have been. She loved me true in seventy-seven... A fleeting taste of earthbound heaven. [Outro] “She was my home… long gone…”
