i’ve been let down, i’ve been stranded on the roadside
a dusty cloud disappearing down the road
i walked for miles trying 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 weren’t strong enough to hold
when i wandered through the towns i’d been before
it just didn’t feel the same
i’ve wasted time, trying to get my shit together
except the wind kept blowing 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 it’s 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
