about

It's time.

lyrics

I thought of you again today
It's becoming quite a theme
For this time in my life
I'm living between
The man that I was
The man I want to be
In case you ever come around
To make a better me

Your mother talks about you
And I don't know what to say
I feel like my living
Has gotten in your way
I've been trying to have it all
Trying to live a dream
It's getting so that I don't know
How to fall asleep

Don't stay away, child
We've been waiting too long
I don't know what it's gonna take
To bring you home
In a way, child
This might be my fault
I don't know what it's gonna take
To fix this at all

I still think there's a reason
For the life that I have lived
The people I have known
The places I have been
But I'm beginning to think that reason
Is more for myself
And I should start living
For someone else

Your mother talks about you
And it breaks my heart
To know that I can't give you
A better start
It's hard to talk about you
When I feel so far away
From being the man you can
Look up to every day

Don't stay away, child
We've been waiting too long
I don't know what it's gonna take
To bring you home
In a way, child
This might be my fault
I don't know what it's gonna take
To fix this at all

Your mother talks about you
Almost every day
I feel like my living
Has gotten in your way

about

Patrick Dunn Sacramento, California

Patrick Dunn writes and plays music in the tradition of the old soul, the rambler, the traveling singer-songwriter -- characters found along the ever-growing timeline of honest music. Pulling from his influences, Patrick plays a mix of folk, soul, country, and rock and roll that has come to be called, for better and for worse, Americana. ... more
