We could dig up all those graves,
We could set the dead to talking,
But we don’t know what they might say.
So please don’t say you’re sorry,
I don’t need that from you,
To be young is to be reckless,
I’m glad I was young with you.
We could walk along the seashore,
We could stare out at the waves,
We could pretend we live forever,
But we don’t think that way.
So please don’t say you’re sorry,
I don’t need that from you,
To be young is to be reckless,
I’m glad I was young with you.
Some poets have said,
All our loves we will destroy,
Some poets have said,
In our sorrow lies our joy,
But I don’t feel any wiser,
Than I ever felt before,
And I still have no idea,
What we’re here for.
So please don’t say you’re sorry,
I don’t need that from you,
To be young is to be reckless,
I’m glad I was young with you.

MARCH 26 / Showcase @ Backspace
Rodney DeCroo is a songwriter, poet and playwright. He has released 6 full-length albums, an album of poetry set to music (Allegheny), a book of poetry (Allegheny, BC) and a theatre production (Stupid Boy in an Ugly Town) that received critical acclaim at several Canadian fringe and writers festivals. DeCroo wrestles with regret, loss, aging, love, memory, death, art—always with his own ongoing recovery embedded in the background. DeCroo’s album and performances draw upon his greatest natural resource—his poetry.
