Don’t Ask Me

I drive around these familiar streets

Twenty years and they still call to me

Pass the woods where we used to roam

You know they tore them down to build more homes

Standing alone now on your back porch

If I listen hard, I can hear your voice

Talking about all the shit we used to do like

Sneaking out in the middle of the night

And all these things keep flooding back

This bond the years apart couldn’t break

For a while we kind of lost our way

Found ourselves but now you’re gone again

Yeah, that damn dark cloud that fell on you

Is falling down on me.

I can’t see, I feel so empty.

What do I do with all the memories

I can’t carry them all, it’s too heavy

Please don’t ask me

Don’t ask me

Took a stroll down to Haight & Ashbury

The same eleven songs playing on repeat

Moved to the Gardens down on Market Street

This city ain’t what used to be, or maybe it’s just me

Shuffle down to watch the windy bay

The fog is rolling through the Golden Gate

The ships emerge as I try to think

If I told you everything I wanted to say

All these words rushing through my mind

But I know I can’t turn back the time

Whisper my goodbyes to the ocean breeze

To carry it off and far away from me

Yeah, that damn dark cloud that fell on you

Is falling down on me.

I can’t see, I feel so empty.

What do I do with all the memories

I can’t carry them all, it’s too heavy

Please don’t ask me

Don’t ask me
