Miles to go before I sleep.
Miles gone by that I did not see.
I never really thought that I would ever get this far.
Like a storm on the wind,
the dark clouds are my friends.
Seems like so very long ago,
I thought this would all be so different.
Life is never what you would expect it to be.
Every second is a miracle
and most don’t see it.
When I walked alone down that white line,
right out of town so long ago,
I did not think I had anything to lose,
but I was so wrong.
My life passed by in the twinkle of an eye.
Time is like a bullet,
you will never see it coming.
I walked that center line right out of town on a dark and moon lite night.
Afraid of the noises I could hear in the darkness to my left and to my right.
I walked for hours through the countryside down that straight white line.
I thought somehow I might loose those bad dreams I had left behind.
They say don’t look back
but I did so many times.
What was lying deep in the darkness drove me harder down that line.
With the sun came a ride
now I’m a million miles away.
There is no going back,
I left no tracks.
My path has faded in the day.
