No, I never
(music & lyrics by Brent D. Scheihagen)
I was out there on the road
Bitten by the cold of loneliness
You came to me one day
When I was led astray by ash and bone
No, I never ever thought I’d see
The day that love would come and conquer me
That you said to me would fold,
Collapse and melt into the seaI cried out in your name
But “all were done in vain”
You whispered silently in my ear
No, I never ever thought I’d hear
My voice ringing out so loud and clear
No, I never ever thought I’d be
Everything that you had meant for me
As we reached the other side
You held your hand in mine
And promised never to let go
There, before my opened eyes,
Eyes which had been blind,
Was everyone I ever loved.
No, I never ever thought I’d feel
My life from the center of the wheel
No, I never ever thought I’d be
Everything that you had meant for me

This song was completed in the fall of 2007 while Brent was living and working on Mackinac Island, Michigan for Mackinac State Historic Parks.
All instruments were performed or programmed by Brent with the exception of the closing fife solo which was graciously provided by Mr. Trace Dominguez (pictured second from left). This photo, taken by Matt Ykimoff, is used with his permission. Thanks, Matt!
