My first song for Song Sprint and my first Skirmish! Decided not to use the word "fold" and was inspired by the definitions instead and came up with this song.

#skirmish #acousticonetake

it started with a letter little postcard from a park out in the west you were looking for some canyons to photograph and sleep inside a tent and i should've known better then that you were gone

it had been a long time since I last heard you were traveling down the road i thought you'd hit a dead end and hoped that made you want to come back home and i should've known better then that you were gone

i tried before, to find you somehow and I found you there, in some quiet town and i asked you then, to follow me and you said no, just let me be and I should've known i should've known better than to let you go

it started with the mornings held on to one another oh so tight and though the sun was shining i still saw the sadness in your eyes and i should've known better then that you were gone

it ended on your birthday i thought we'd celebrate it for the night i baked you your favorite but you went to bed without a single bite and i should've known better then that you were gone

i tried before, to find you somehow and I found you there, in some quiet town and i asked you then, to follow me and you said no, just let me be and I should've known i should've known better than to let you go

it ended with a headline a hiker found dead in a park out in the west cause of death uncertain i cried because i knew before they did and i should've known better than to let you go and now i know and i should've known better than to let you go
