I saw you
in the distance, unaware,
With thoughts and feelings I couldn't bare.
You started coming,
And I started running.
To this day I'm on my toes,
Running where the road goes.
If I stopped and met you halfway,
Would it be different anyway?
I mean, we ripped and we tore,
Fights until we were sore,
I couldn't take it anymore.
So I'm packing my stuff,
I know it'll be rough.
And I don't even know if I have enough-
Enough of my soul to carry me on,
Enough of my love to see tomorrow's dawn.
I am going to the sea,
Where I can find me.
To a place on the hillside,
Where I can hide.
Behind the hemlocks,
And the door locks,
With open windows with no shades.
I'll hide in the dark side,
In-between the light,
Away from sight.
In early spring I'll start to sow,
By summer it will grow.
By fall I'll be alright,
And in winter I'll take the flight.
Coming back to you a changed man,
Yet a man of considerable damage.
But without those illusions so I can manage.
I'll love you all up,
I'll take you where you want to go,
With empty pockets full of dreams.
And if you
go on down that road,
Don't you think that I will go.
And if stay well that's ok,
Cause I'll be gone anyway.
