lyrics

Linda dropped me off tonight and as she drove away
The fog drifted through the night, waiting to be burned off by the day

And as I went to sleep tonight with her spirit by my side
I dreamt of Linda in the light, a tissue dabbed at her face as she cried

I asked her what was wrong, she said "Nothing, dear! I'm fine!
I was just going back to another time,
A younger, naive, little girl who might as well be blind.
Sometimes it's so hard to ease all the feelings
In my mind!"

We chatted for a while about the years gone by
About her little baby Kyle, and all the reasons why he had to die.

She said that that was through, and the pain had been erased.
I didn't tell her that I knew she was lying by the look on her face.

I asked her what she did, she said "Nothing, there was no time.
I just closed everything, and I almost lost my mind.
A younger, naive, little girl who might as well be blind.
Sometimes it's so hard to ease all the feelings
In my mind!"

Linda picked me up today, the morning made her smile
She said, "Let's just spend the day driving through the sunlight for a while."

I didn't answer back, and I guess I turned away.
She fought the question back, but eventually, she couldn't make it stay.

She asked me what was wrong, I said "Nothing, dear! I'm fine!
I was just going back to another time,
A younger, naive, little girl who might as well be blind.
Sometimes it's so hard to ease all the feelings
In my mind!"

And as I thought about it more, I held her a little longer... in my mind...
