The grass and once green trees
are stiff and December is frozen
in all my heart’s tears. Don’t see
no difference in stayin or goin
cause I’ll always have the same fears.
Wish I could start, just start walkin
a new road–one that leads
me where I’m goin. There’s no use
in time left for lookin behind, cause
you don’t seem to mind
where I’m blowin. Just like a lost leaf
a scatterin down-street, shuffled
and worn out with dyin, now I wish I could
start, just start makin a new road, and I wish
I could stop this old cryin. It’s always
those times that I want to see you–
those are the times when I’m lonely.
There just aint no words for thinkin about you
cause there aint no way you’re gonna
love me. I used to think
if this world was a billion times bigger
that I could still find you. Voices
kept singin and blue bells kept
ringin, cause I thought that a child’s love
would bind you. Now I wish
I could start makin tracks
on some highway that leads me
to where I’ll be happy. Seems
time’s just wasted lookin behind
when a blind girl’s got visions of Pappy.
