Dirt Roads

Subseven

Country dirt roads – 
This walk is not the same without you - 
Right here – by me – the twig I trip over is you - 
Over – this bridge – the memories of the past times
Look up – past the trees – and to the left – 
The broken house that you lived in - 

Good times was all we had – 
Concrete slabs spray painted - 
Leaves me pictures of you - 
I patiently wait… (the place we played) for you - 
I silently pray…(you'll find a way) for you - 

The top – of this tree – where we could see for miles - 
Stories – of the times – the testimonies of our lives - 
Smell the air – take a breath – fall asleep and listen in - 
We learn a lot from experiences, but it's no good  if we don't change. - 
Good times was all we had – concrete slabs spray painted - 
Leaves me pictures of you - I patiently wait… for you - 
I silently pray… for you

Close your eyes (It's time to move on to the new.) - 
Hold on tight (forget the past, forget old ‘you'.) - 
We'll be alright (look to the new pasture.) - 
Close your eyes (the past won't meet your future.) - 

The field – the creek -  where the fort we built I think still lay - 
Crooked branches with our names - still engraved - 
They'll stay the same.
