Fences

I'm writing this to you to say it's okay I guess I must have asked too much of you I thought the whole thing through, but then thought, "No way" But I couldn't help but notice it was true The stars were out to shine, but you were way gone I saw it in the way you laced your shoe You thought I might not see, but you were way wrong I know it 'cause it's how I used to do You're building fences You're building fences My path beside the sea was firm at low tide I wouldn't have believed it could disappear Or that the gulf between us could get so wide I can't even recall how we got here You're building fences You're building fences I'm writing this to you to say it's okay I guess I must have asked too much of you I thought the whole thing through, but then thought, "No way" But I couldn't help but notice it was true You're building fences You're building fences You're building fences Building fences
