Lyrics

Comfort in the Knowing
© 2010 Richard F. Neal

Should this be goodbye let it not be said
That we didn't try 'til our hearts and fingers bled
We sought to keep our word, and see this whole thing through

Should we both give up and go our separate ways
Let's admit mistakes by both of us were made
Should it come down to pain the price you pay for wisdom
Then I will seek comfort in knowing

CHORUS
We gave it all we had, did the best we could
Were you right or wrong, was I bad or good
You have no way to tell which way the winds of change are blowing
So I will move along
And take comfort in the knowing

Should we both give in and surrender to despair
Neither of us lied, it's not we didn't care
We couldn't overcome the power of our demons

Should this come apart like so many busted seams
Leaving broken hearts and a trail of broken dreams
If truth should be revealed by expending all this effort
Then I will seek comfort in knowing

CHORUS
We gave it all we had, did the best we could
Were you right or wrong, was I bad or good
You have no way to tell which way the winds of change are blowing
So I will move along
And take comfort in the knowing
