Easy and light the days flow a bit smoother.
will I finally win out to some other side?

Beyond Rose and our years … my insecurities and fears
Ah, no … but I run to other tunes, as well.

Got those freight train blues running thru
aching me, … breaking me …
all my dreams … all my reasoning
have brought me here again
the evening waits like a wound
and I’m so afraid I’ll fall in

Reality’s so thin … just behind our running
just behind our lovers and our jobs
waits the empty time …
waits the accountings and the ownings
and no matter how I try
to stay on the easy side of it
it tears … it tears and takes me in.

Woke up from some rainy dream
Rose and I parting, again, it seems
so casual and callous, she, to me
and then, as I leave…tears

but, when I did leave it was again
amid anger and that sour feeling inside
that dies so poorly there.

I can’t understand or reach her
she seems to care at times
and to be bent on inconsideration
all the rest.
