Due to Unfortunate Circumstances

Words and music by Wendy Renee Emerson

Due to unfortunate circumstances 
I will not be with you tonight.
I'll stay home and turn off the lights.
Light a candle in the window 
and sing a lonely song about
the things that I can only dream. 
Things that I will never be.

And I can't stop crying.
No  I can't stop crying.
No  I can't stop crying.

Summertimes , forest walks, the hummingbirds,
the morning sun upon your face.
I couldn't help but fall from grace.
I think about you all the time and 
hope that you are doing well 
with the love you've always dreamed. 
Someone who I could never be.

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Instrumental

Promises of love like mountains crumble and collapse 
before the insistent crashing of the sea.
I must be who I'm to be. 

Still I can't stop crying.
No  I can't stop crying.
No  I can't stop crying.
 
Due to unfortunate circumstances 
I will not be with you tonight.
