Roadside Love

Hello again, drifting, dark night sky
This night is my companion as I walk along the roadside
With memories trapped in yearning,
thoughts entranced in time,
how is it a question why you're always on my mind?

The embers from the headlights
keep my eyes upon this life
And the darkness in the shadows
keeps me focused on my strife

Plush flowers brush my ankles
as I pass through fields of tears
As I walk along the roadside
you're the only thing I hear

Through this life I've stumbled, fallen to the lies
Every word spoken to me is in riddles and in rhymes
But when my body aches to hear the truth
your words keep me alive
keep me walking steady down the roadside

I'll wander through this night forever,
it's the morning that I dread
And on the roadside is where I find
that this love was never dead

Just close your eyes, darkened sky
and wrap me in your black glove
As I cry again to the empty night
About this dying roadside love
