I've demoed this song twice before, but third time's the charm. Now I just need a professionally recorded verson...
lyrics
I've been let down
I've been stranded by the roadside
A dusty cloud disappearing down the road
I walked for miles tryin to find something familiar
Lucky that I had you to ease the load
And it took my wounds a little while to close
The stitches they weren't string enough to hold
When I wandered through the towns I'd been before
It just didn't feel the same
I've wasted time tryin to get my shit together
Except the wind kept blowin everything away
And I couldn't find all the pieces that were missing
What hope had I they would ever be replaced?
But I made it back to where I started from
The dust had cleared, the aches and pains were gone
When I wonder why it took me so long
I have only me to blame
Afraid that I might have left it too late
But its too early to tell
I could just sit here waiting for the next train
But I think it's time I legged it there myself
