Startin' On

Rumpled from some hours of sleep

The moonshine falls into the room

You’ll always find a promise I can’t keep

And I can’t buy myself off my doom

In the meadow by the brook, I wanna be

But I don’t ask you to invite me home

Don’t know to find my way, I want you here with me

And I’ll miss you, wherever I may roam

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again

I want to call you softly to tell you where I am

Soon I’ll be back, you needn’t wake to ask me when

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again

Some may say it is not fair

Maybe it was wrong to go away

And you’ve got ev’ry reason not to care

But I know you do, no matter what they say

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again

I want to call you softly to tell you where I am

Soon I’ll be back, you needn’t wake to ask me when

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again

There’s a storm that says I must go

And I leave with a strangely achin’ heart

Through the white of frost I see the snow

And you’ll have to wait there far apart

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again

I want to call you softly to tell you where I am

Soon I’ll be back, you needn’t wake to ask me when

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again

I want to call you softly to tell you where I am

Soon I’ll be back, you needn’t wake to ask me when

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again

I’m here, so far, I’m startin’ on again
