Faraway in the crooked eyes of the night

where insights nestle with pride

My bewildered mind slowly rewinds

from the brokenhearted pavements of light

What took me so close to the lonely gallows

when I barely could feel the glow

I lived and I died , you laughed and you cried

and then you went away with the flow.

those precious hours, took away a lifetime

as the carpet moved below

the drops on the flowers faded at the right time

on the road we were bound to go

the postcards flew and bid me adieu

the highway stopped singin' the blues

shadow to shadow my fingers bled

my soul string didn't have a clue

in this earthly realm, full of ache and condemn

there aren't many visions of the thorns

the stains of blood dried on the crown

yet helplessly life goes on.
