A song written for the things that were missing in my life at that time. But with a much better tune...

Keith Henderson, Acoustic, songwriter, King of Sixes, Pale Surrender.
I'm more of a songwriter than a performer, though I have done my fair share of gigging with a number of bands in the past. If the names Pale Surrender or King of Sixes mean anything to you, then your either a member of my family or a really avid fan. Either way I was the songwriter in both of those fine bands...

Story behind the song
Like all of my songs, this one was written pretty quickly and without too much soul searching. A zen approach I guess. It wasn't until after it was completed that I realised what I'd been writing about. Funny old thing, the human mind...
Lyrics
I'm drinking coffee on my own again in the same old places Thinking of times when I had company and not just faces it doesn't fill me up or make me feel less empty It gains me nothing but always costs me plenty Here comes the reckoning time And why not? We all know the reasons why Whatever wounds we get the air will heal We miss our scars when they've faded I've got no family I've gathered worthless things around me I'm the birthday boy and I don't know what to do at all The kids I didn't have have all grown up and gone away They never call and their mother married someone taller Here comes the reckoning time And why not? We all know the reasons why As dark as I can be I'd always want the best for me I'm just too clever for my own damn good You always know what you've got before you lose it You just don't always know you'll need it like you need it now I try to mend the tears with only shreds of hope for glue Everyday I'm working miracles with solitude Here comes the reckoning time And why not? We all know the reasons why I think I'd let you go if I thought I could live alone But I don't know and I won't try
