Hard rain fell. Chalk it up to a failure.
|
|
Push through the cold weather.
|
|
Racing heart, slow the beat, push through the defeat.
|
|
No one knows, just push through the deadbeats, junkies, liars and cutthroats.
|
|
The same walk, the same pier.
|
|
No one's going to remember him here.
|
|
"Just walk until you reach those long steel tracks."
|
|
That old familiar sting, the memories of rivalry.
|
|
Years passed and it's still here.
|
|
The same dirt, the same rails, the same fear.
|
|
And all the years of giving in rushed through his head again.
|
|
With no loss to match his gain, he rolled on to hop that train.
|
|
That rain fell hard.
|
|
Chalk the miles from his failure.
|
|
Trees sway with the weather.
|
|
Racing heart, slow the beat.
|
|
Every crossed town line is relief.
|
|
With no money and no name, state lines, borders rivers are all the same.
|
|
The city by dawn, a stranger with no history comes.
|
|
"Just rest your head where the sun sets. Fade out at sun down."
|
