REASON ©Ricki E. Bellos He left for the Bitterroots in the spring He headed west saying west's the best Since he didn't take everything I waited for his call all summer and fall Waiting's not what I would choose Sometimes you win but mostly you lose I need a reason to forgive All the lies he told and the loss of my soul I need a reason to forgive Crazy Woman Creek runs through my yard Don't know her real name but we're one and the same Twisting and turning, not going far Afraid to let go of what we know But living in fear Is what brought me here I need a reason to forget All the sweet things he said to me I need a reason to forget Winter came down with a howling blow Still no boot prints in the snow So I pour more wine to pass the time But drinking doesn't ease the pain It just brings it back again I need a reason to believe That love is real and I will heal I need a reason to believe I need a reason I need one good reason I need a reason I need any reason at all
