The Risk

from Sweet & Sorrow by Catherine Ruth

/

lyrics

Younger then, we were driving through
Open to hoping you might come true
October was setting and the glow was gold and blue
There it was
The risk of you

Joni’s bittersweet “Both Sides Now”
Wonder which of the stories we’ll be playing out
The happy ending, or the one we don’t talk about
Feels dangerous to worry out loud

Ooos

Winds of change tear across the roof above us
Another October, nothing’s like it was
Branches toss in time to our dear panicking chimes
While safe below I’m clinging on to keep you close

As if the comfort of holding you is the only kind I’ve ever known

Here it is: the risk that one day you’ll be gone
Been waiting for the worry to end
But it goes on and on and on and on and on
