Sundowner,-
Seeing that sun going down and a yellow moon rising,-
Wondering if I told you secrets, would you ever tell another soul?,
Will you hold those things that I tell you?, and will you keep them whole?,
Take them with you and don't leave them while standing at a crossroads made of high and low roads,
If things are real then they will be coming like the steady progress of a dove trying to climb the mountains.
Thinking back to a late night right before the fourth of July and all that was said,-
And having the feeling like I was standing up on top of a ridge thinking I was on top of the world,
As I realized all was so delicately placed and like Dylan wrote all could change in an instant,
Now I'm dealing with the good and the bad and I guess that's everything that's left,
After finding those remains that were left behind and making my way down the line again.
Now looking out and seeing those birds on the telephone wires,-
And drifting back to the time that I started to fall and the ones who caught me,
As I resolved then to continue to stand tall and had one who directed me true,
With life having turned and having come a long way though since that time of discontent,
Yet, I still manage to fool myself.
So now asking to be taken across the water and I'm running out of time,-
Having nothing left to hold and and save but my life knowing it will be over if I keep up this pace,
Things have taken their toll and now I guess I'm paying for having taken all upon me,
And just seem to have been losing and crying for making all my personal crusade(s),
Wondering if I fooled myself that I was making things better or trying to win points in Heaven's favour?
Going through it all and feeling it killing me slowly as I endure forced aging,-
And seeming to be going nowhere and seeing lights changing as I turn situations over in my head,
As I wish that you were either here or me there and knowing that you would help me to see it so clear,
Not wanting to admit that I've been afraid of those new changes that I have been forced to undergo,
Wondering where or what it is that you might be going towards as I am afraid to admit how I really feel,
But you know that you have my heart and the sun will usually bring us back.
Having had some time to run the scenarios in my head,-
As I lay there one night and wondering if it was time to give in and uncertain if my heart had failed,
And wishing that you were there as I slowly climbed those stairs and to turn and see you smiling there,
Looking so much like a goddess standing there in the doorway.
So hold me close and tell me what it is you feel,-
For you know that you will never walk or be alone out in the cold and we still have many miles to go,
Wishing that I could drink at times to celebrate the breaks and to forget the coming storm that's building,
Instead of feeling like I'm standing here alone wondering if I am that lone soldier who lost everything,
But ended up winning it all like a game of pitch and toss after risking it all.
