|
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." |
