Lydia Ainsworth The Road
Channeling a velvet smile
It's all I can take with me
I turn to wipe the windows clean
In reverse it all feels so free
The dust is getting thicker
The light is getting dimmer
Did I have to let this go?
I remember
I remember
Now I'm driving down this open palm
Burning up the back of my hand
Tracing all the things I never did
All the things that I never said
As a hawk's deflected path
Meets the end within another end
As two mirrors guide the form
Let's go on and on once more
When there's nothing left to break
In a gaze within another gaze
Bending backwards through soft eyes
Let's go on and on and on next time
I couldn't take the long way home
Guess that I was frightened
I thought that I could face this storm
I'm only good when sun is shining
Now there's thunder and there's lightning
Should I put it down to timing?
That I had to let this go
Do you regret it?
I regret it
Now I'm driving down this lonely road
There's no way that I can turn back
'Cause I know it hurt to see me go
There's no way that you'll take me back
Open sky with no landmark
Making progress and yet nothing's changing
As two mirrors guide the form
Let's go on and on and on once more
When there's nothing left to break
In a gaze within another gaze
Bending backwards through soft eyes
Let's go on and on and on next time
Let's go on
Let's go on and on and on next time
Let's go on
Let's go on and on and on next time
