THE KEY – REPRISE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

she wants to keep the key
it seems rather strange
since she’s left
            the city
                        the state
                                    and me

she needed to distance me
            with time
                        with miles
                                    with an affair

OLD NEWS – REPRISE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

when my heart is crying?

THE TOUCH OF THE NEW – REPRISE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

and when he finally told her
she gave his face a slap

how could you do this?
she yelled, then cried
I’ve trusted you forever
how long now have you lied?
