We stood together on the seven five <br />Backs to the fields and eyes wide to the light <br />My thumb hitched high to the random unknown <br />I didn't know where and wouldn't be shown <br />We'd learn soon enough we couldn't go home <br /> <br />We sailed straight into yon white water thrill <br />Down where the furious waves rose and fell <br />With no going back, and no turning around <br />We didn't know if we'd make it or drown <br />Or if something worse might soon bring us down <br /> <br /> <br />When you were the fire, you were the light <br />And I was a shadow stealing the night <br />You were the av'rage and I was the pass <br />I had momentum and you had the class <br />Out of the seeds of a circular street <br />I stood on illusion, you stood on your feet <br /> <br />Across the table we sat with our kind <br />Breaking the bread with our hands full of time <br />And gulping down the holy water of self <br />Too eager like chicks we leapt and we fell <br />From high window dreams down to the cold earth <br /> <br />I stand alone here o'er this city night <br />But somehow see only your village light <br />Off in the far distance beside the lost road <br />Down by the old Beech tree under the crows <br />Beneath the moon's light where we used to stroll. <br /> <br /> <br />When you were the fire, you were the light <br />And I was a shadow stealing the night <br />You were the av'rage and I was the pass <br />I had momentum and you had the class <br />Out of the seeds of a circular street <br />I stood on illusion, you stood on your feet<br /><br />jim hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lost-road/
