Don't Look Back - Robin Trower

Pale and drawn like a winter sky

He sits and stares into an unlit fire

Pages turned, not one line read

But scenes replay inside his head

Once her day was warm routine

She sowed the seed a home so clean

She closed her eye, moments in the Sunday

Now she blames herself, shame for everyone

Don’t look back — there’s too much pain

When you weigh the loss before the gain

Don’t swim out on the torn dark sea

To drown in doubt and self pity

Don’t look back

Stores away and neatly filed

Mother first then only child

Flowers fresh, stones of white

Sunshine days turned starless night

Don’t look back — there’s too much pain

When you weigh the loss before the gain

Don’t swim out on the torn dark sea

To drown in doubt and self pity

Don’t look back
