Regrets, I Know (c. Michael J Breen, Breensongs Pub. BMI)
Something familiar, something strange
I can almost feel the dress you wore
the day you took my name
And I used to roam the spaces in your heart
and I used to ride your canyons in the dark
Regrets I know
Regrets I know
It’s a lost and lonely feeling
this life out on my own
like a horse that’s been unsaddled somewhere
far away from home
I keep looking for the trails we used to know
and the fields of golden grass where time was slow
Regrets I know
Regrets I know
Can’t believe my heart’s still achin’
Thought that I’d be over you by now
Guess a few more things need breakin’
before I find my way again somehow
Can’t believe my heart’s still achin’
Thought that I’d be over you by now
Guess a few more things need breakin’
before I find my way again somehow
Something familiar, something strange
I can almost feel the ring you gave me
on our wedding day
But it sits up on the dresser by the phone
funny, just a simple band of gold
Regrets I know
Regrets I know
Regrets I know

Rock On

There's a picture in the hallway of my mom
There's a chair in the corner she used to rock me on
And they say she was brave full of love and unafraid
And I was just a little child when she passed away
Rock on
Well she got me my first guitar when I was 10 years old
And looking back well she must've known that her time was running low
Still somehow she found a way to send her young boy on his way
And I know that in my soul she hears the music that I play
Rock on. Rock on. Rock on
Well I've been low and I've been high chased by a lifetime of bad goodbyes
When I look back at what's gone wrong the harder I keep holding on
Rock on
I know she’d want it this way.
I'm going to see her someday
Rock on, Rock on
From the CD "Apartment Living." 2008 (Breen/Curtis)

The Space Between Us (Breen)
It's so strange our common threads
it's more than chance we met
love flows from you like a deep river strong
finally after all these years
I swim unshackled without fear
and the pain of living
has gone
And though I don't know you well
in the space between us i can feel
you heal me, you heal me
CHORUS
And I find myself living in the space between us
wanting more than just the energy that flows
but I can never taste your lips or feel your gentle finger tips
and so I live in the space between us
Sometimes awake at night
I curse my luck in life
for love to shine so late it's light on me
After all the roads are paved
and foundations have been laid
and wives and husbands all agree
but with a breath of cold night air
I know that I still want you there
to heal me, you heal me
CHORUS
And I find myself living in the space between us
wanting more than just the energy that flows
but I can never taste your lips or feel your gentle finger tips
and so I live in the space between us
So now my love , I must confess
In words that cannot stay unsaid
that though the roads we travel lay apart
Whether you are near or far
you will be my shining star
and I will keep you burning in my heart
and of all the things I can't explain
the space between us will remain
to heal me, you heal me
CHORUS
And I find myself living in the space between us
wanting more than just the energy that flows
but I can never taste your lips or feel your gentle finger tips
and so I live in the space between us
A track off my "Apartment Living" Album.
