about

Words and music by Jon MacAulay. A love song gone wrong.

lyrics

Took a walk outside my doorstep
Seemed like the first time in years
See just what the night had left me
Besides the ashes and the tears
And it hit me like a freight train
I could do it all again
Make a fool of myself
Or I could learn to live again

Now it’s over
The storm is over
And I’m growing older
Since love left town

Think I’ll pack up all these memories
In a suitcase or a trunk
Burn'em by the water
While that night sky makes me drunk
You can tell me stories 'bout love or pain
While I lay these ones to rest
Cause right now it all feels just the same
In the caverns of my chest
Yes it’s over
The storm is over
And I’m growing colder
Since love left town

All my friends all tell me to pass you by
Like some stranger on the street
Wouldn’t even care if I was strung out
Reelin' from defeat
But at night your face still jumps out
Like rays of polished gold
Yes your memory’s still so fresh
But it’s growing old, growing old

Took a walk outside my doorstep
Seemed like the first time in years
See just what innocence leaves you
Besides the emptiness and fears
And it hit me like a freight train
I could do it all again
Fall flat on my face
Or I could learn to live again

Now it’s over
The story’s over
And I’m growing sober
Since love left town
Since love left town
Since love left town
