such sweet sorry (2020)
text by myself
for solo voice

poem and music composed May 21-30, 2020

as they say

i guess i’ll say, i have some news
i guess i’ll say, this will have to be our last
i guess i’ll say, it’ll always be nice to hear from you
i guess i’ll see you around, maybe

as they say

i guess we shouldn’t talk anymore
i guess i’ll leave you on the train
i guess i’ll always wonder where you are now
i guess i’ll always be sorry

as they say

i guess i’ll have to call more often
i guess i’ll have to live it down
i guess we’re never really ready
i guess this is it

i guess—

as they say

only a guess
