As i walk thru the valley,i take a look at your smile
visions of my love,i walk for miles
turn your lights on,then turn them off again
theres only one stop light that will always remain
people gather helpless to see the seen
a frail old man has fallen to his knees
he's seen so many changes through his lonely years
his wife and family so close pulling him near
he takes his last breath with a wandering gaze
visions of his love closing in thru the maze
like a bird will call for his love
romancing on telephone lines cute with doves
the pine tree sways from above
two squirrels playing rough
from ashes to ashes dust to dust
in the end it will all come to us
people rushing everywhere to get no where fast
no time for idol chit chat no time to ask
if you ask me we are all freaks
can you remember what you done last week
to earn a descent living and your keep
just look bemused and buy things cheap
if you look real hard you might find
a gorgeous state of mind
the clouds will play tricks with your mind
in the end we all have precious time
I'll go my way you'll go yours
but in the end we both go thru the same doors
visions of you i cant ignore
longing to hold you more
the old lady waits for her train
wind hail snow or rain
remembering waving her love goodbye
40 years later wiping a tear from her eye
he looked so handsome bold and young
much to proud to give up his gun
to fight someones war off he runs
if only he knew what he had become
so every year she waits
longing to meet him at the gates
she looks down the railway tracks
oh my love i want you back
steam blowing a distant whistle
my loves coming home,how i missed you
with a tear she falls on the tracks
but she smiles for her loves coming back
creatures of the night might hound you
people of the day might surround you
just hang tight to your dreams
win the weary night without screams
I'll wash away with the morning tide
because in the end I'll be here by you side.
