about

Surprisingly, I wrote few songs about my first live-in girlfriend. Geri was a beautiful girl who had a genuine sweetness to her. We lived together for 5 years. This song has been my way of dealing with the loss. It still plays as if she left yesterday.

lyrics

You break the hold you break the chains
Unfold the curtains from our eyes
To let some new light fill the darkness
That has grown for us inside
I'll take the reins upon this horse
And saddle up to move along
Upon the land where yet no man has walked
No car has rolled upon

Chorus
It was yesterday I heard her say she cared
But when I turned around to look she wasn't there she wasn't there

Hiding away day after day
Thinking that love kept us alive
We lived together looking for some truth
Between each other's lies
I'll take the blame you win the game
And claim your freedom as the prize
Who am I to try to stop you
From telling me goodbye?

Chorus
Waiting for someone to sympathize with
All that two go through
Show me things I need to change show me things I thought I knew

Chorus
You break the hold you break the chains
Unfold the curtains from our eyes
I'll learn to live for every moment
Where some hope remains alive
Across the valley of our differences
You and I shall stand
Maybe someday we'll be back this way
To share our lives again
