Wanted, Never Asked - Vetiver

Once a songbird caught me by surprise

With the strength of its singing

A bright call took flight, pierced the air

Like a lone bell a-ringing

What’s past is past

Wanted, never asked

I don’t expect to get a second chance

To choose my words as I mean to

But I’d take it all back, I was wrong

Now I know what you’ve been through

What’s past is past

Wanted, never asked

A songbird’s shadow upon the lawn

Lies in wait since you’re gone

Sun sure falls fast

No shadow cast

What’s past is past

Wanted, never asked
