Riding through nostalgia, shaking memories by the mile
|
The city lights are closing in on him
|
The distance grows shorter for a while
|
He wonders what dreams fill her heart
|
And wonders if what they had could ever be sparked
|
"the roads never lead where they're supposed to go"
|
That's what he tells himself before he lets it go
|
Out on the cold grey plain, sunken on the side of the road
|
The words bleed off the page, the letter becomes well-soaked
|
"no more turning backwards," he says, as he drives off in the rain
|
Ventures on up through the colorades and settles under the rock
|
And pines, and stakes claim
|
Still he wonders what what dreams fill her heart
|
And wonders if what they had could ever be sparked
|
The roads never lead where they're supposed to go
|
They just twist 'round and 'round the flame
|
The eyes closing, the heart retains
|
A bit of a spark before it fades away
|
That's where he gets lost and drifts off alone
|
