honest songs, honestly sung

Never Had to Try

I tried to write you letter but the ink bled through
Tried to call to the heavens, get my song to you
I tried to fly my love across the sky
That spanned between us so blue
But I never had to try … lovin’ you.

And I never had to try for a love I could not get …
And I’ll never have to cry for a true love that I never met …
And I’ll never have to drive over the rainbow …
And I’ll never have to find another pot of gold …

I tried to call you on the telephone, but the line would not go through
I tried to sit down and meditate, conjure a vision of you
I tried to fly, my love across the sky
That spanned between us so blue
But I never had to try … lovin’ you.
