Petals in the Wind
January 7, 2000

There was a girl
I would have given her the world
Took her out against her will for a twirl
Made her see that life was not going to be fair
Made her see
How cruel I could be

Oh, Michele, why did you have to trust me
I wasn’t ready for your love
Full of so much doubt I couldn’t see
The sign was posted right in front of me

I had a friend that I lost one night
We had a fight
I was wrong but could not admit
That he was right
I held on too tight

Brian please don’t leave us
I don’t know what we’ll do without you
It’s not as if we haven’t fought before
Why does this have to be the last time

Maria and I tried to keep together
But distance was not able to
Make the heart grow founder
She found her man
Started the family plan
And now alone here I stand

When I did I forget how to write
Everything was there for me
To keep the connection tight
Did I know this would happen
When I took that flight

The four of us
So high on life
The four of us
Forgetting there was a price
What more can I say
Will we ever play again
How did we fade like the petals in the wind
