A finger flick on a single guitar string got this one started. A nip and tuck of word and phrase here and there and my lyricist partner (Beeswing) fixed the broken and missing spokes of the wheel...Then off to a true artisan for the finishing musical touches (RJC). I could not have asked for a more sublime 'feel and performance' from Rob.....My deepest and most heartfelt thanks to both contributors for bringing this song to a level I couldn't even picture in my dreams. ~ As usual I got to see a decent idea for a song transformed into something so much greater by strengths and talents far beyond my own....This is the 50th song on my page. That alone is a miracle (after nearly 40 years off).....a more fitting 50th I couldn't ask for. Thank you Diane and Rob!

You’ve got your reasons baby,
for all those long goodbyes
Time will pass, you told me so
Left with just a memry
Against a blackened sky
That couldn't matter less don't ya know
Well so it goes
I won’t be knocking at your door no more
Told me that you loved me,
Said I was your prize
Promises that melted like the snow
Should'a seen it coming
Those kisses tellin lies
And bitter tasting words that brought me low
Well so it goes
I won’t be knocking at your door no more
Now listen to me darlin,
it's time we let it all go
You've got no obligation
Just walk away
No need to soften the blow
(lead RJC)
Well so it goes
I won’t be knocking at your door no more
Best you move along,
is all that's left to say
Cause merciless repayment ain't my style
You know it's kinda sad,
in a twisted sorta way
you truly made me happy for awhile
Well so it goes
I won’t be knocking at your door no more
Yea so it goes
I won’t be knocking at your door no more
