Letting Go 

You can see the darkness
in my eyes and smile
a haunting sorrow shadows me
on the long and lonely miles 

Riding down these back roads
past rivers, farms, and fields
running from hard memories
and all the pain I feel 

These shadows ride on with me
they keep me company
if I can't learn to let them go
I never will be free
I never will be free 

Trees blur by so quickly
like the ghosts of my mistakes
the rhythm of each passing mile
beats out every heartache 

I've ridden with these ghosts so long
their nearness seems so sweet
like the whisper of a summer's day
or a promise I thought I'd keep 

These shadows ride on with me
they keep me company
if I can't learn to let them go
I never will be free
I never will be free 

The road keeps rising up ahead
and the sun keeps shining down
I'm trying hard to let you go
when I feel you all around 

You're like these ghosts that ride with me
you're like those haunting trees
if I ride on and never stop
can I leave those memories 

 These shadows ride on with me
they keep me company
if I can learn to let them go
maybe now I can be free
maybe now I can be free

The Echo Of Your Homeless Heart

(No More Sad Reveries)
 
Looking through my lonely heart
into the sad reveries
an empty road behind me darkens
and once again
I'm chasing the echo
of your homeless heart
~ the echo of your homeless heart ~ 

Past that ancient battleground
where broken hearts lie scattered
the bleeding scarred remains
decay of yesterday
back against a wall of time
lives the echo
of your homeless heart 

I'm chasing the echo
of your homeless heart.
