Down by the river there's a place I often go
when I've had enough and I need to clear my head,
when I need my space and I need to be alone.
...
The covered bridge above a stream
in hues of weathered colour cream,
who's planks once bowed from wheel and hoof -
her carriages now seem aloof,
...
She didn't have the time, or the piece of mind
to know a good thing when she saw it coming down the line.
What else could I do? It was hers to choose -
I'd given my all and I got nothin' left to lose.
...
Look up to the horizon
the moon is rising fast
through silhouettes and shadows
the hills and trees have cast.
...
In the silent of night
the only sound that I hear
is your voice in my head
as if you were here.
...
Those true blue eyes
as cool as ice they freeze my poor heart
yet warm as skies whem stormclouds part
...
My best days are behind me.
Don't look cause you won't find me
any place you could before.
I'm balled up in the corner;
...
Where are you now?
When will you be back in town?
Who are you seeing?
What are you up to?
...
Upon inspection: imperfection,
there's deception, misdirection.
On recollection of this section
there's a fake in the collection.
...
Forty-five miles.
Forty-five miles.
Forty-five miles and nothing to show.
For forty-five miles I've been killing my time
