To a Cinder

I can’t follow where you want

You’re not seeing where I’ve gone

I can’t join in your parade

You’re not hearing what I say

I can’t stay for more than tea

It’s not you nor is it me

You’ve got plans and I have dreams

You are land and I am sea

And all I’ve got is some things change

And though it’s odd, we’re not estranged

It wasn’t wrong, and I’m not ashamed

And I’m not afraid

So oooooo, don’t give me your hand to shake

Ah oooooo, cuz we’re worth a sentimental exchange

Can you look me in the eye

There’s no reason to be shy

Would you look me in the eye

We have nothing to deny

And all I’ve got is some things change

And though it’s odd, we’re not estranged

It wasn’t wrong, and I’m not ashamed

And I’m not afraid

So oooooo, don’t give me your hand to shake

Ah oooooo, cuz we’re worth a sentimental exchange

And oooooo, don’t give me a cordial wave

Cuz Ah oooooo, we’re worth that sentimental, sentimental

We’re worth that sentimental exchange
