Forever Words Quotes

“Truth, said the Master, cannot be hid But he didn’t say slap it in the face of my kids.”
― Johnny Cash, Forever Words: The Unknown Poems

“I know you feel the way I change
But you can't change the way I feel
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you-one of a kind
I think some way you'll make it
Though you don't know how to take it
You can't deal with how I'm thinkin'
Cause you never really knew my mind
There were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood me
We were carefree, open, honest
Loving easy, true, and kind
I suppose you never doubted then
That we had it all together
Then you say the changes painfully, and knew
You never knew my mind
My silence holds the secrets when I answer, but don't answer
You didn't see me well enough to recognize the signs
You didn't want to know it's over
You never looked close enough to know
You never knew my mind.”
― Johnny Cash, Forever Words: The Unknown Poems

“That he would pause In his killing To go about the business Of preparing for the living Knowing That he will immediately return To the business of killing?”
― Johnny Cash, Forever Words: The Unknown Poems
