So Much to Say

from 12 Months a Year by Leslie Hudson

about

Sometimes the choices we make cost us more than we realize until much later, and then sometimes it's too late to repair the damage. Thinking about loss and distance, holding out hope that the gap will be bridged again one day.

I was crossing the tracks in the snow a couple of months ago and the crows called overhead. The lines "crows on the tracks today / they've got a lot to say as I walk by" showed up in my head and waited for me to write them into a song: the first one of 2022.

lyrics

Today I went walking by the station
I never come this way anymore
Cuz it reminds me of you
And that day I came and met you at the station
We walked through the snow as the wind blew

And I didn't know what to say to you

Crows on the tracks today
They've got a lot to say as I walk by
Crows on the tracks today
They've got a lot to say

I know the miles that lie between us
Are measuring more than the distance now
And there's nothing I can do
You know I went and fucked this up completely
Maybe I'll find out one day if you missed me

And I didn't know what to say to you
No I didn't know what to say to you

Crows on the tracks today
Calling it out to the sky
Crows on the tracks today
They were calling it out to the sky
Crows on the tracks today
Calling it out to the sky
Crows on the tracks today

Crows on the tracks today
They've got a lot to say as I walk by
Crows on the tracks today
They've got a lot to say as I walk by
They were calling it out to the sky
Crows on the tracks today
They've got a lot to say as I walk by
Calling it out to the sky
Crows on the tracks today
They've got a lot to say

And I have so much to say to you
Oh I have so much to say to you
