Inside Track

Ferron

I don't think about distant places

When I've got my own mind

But it leaves me when I least expect it

Then I'm looking for a short line for home



I'm praying to a sunset mountain

Well aware the softest light's behind me

I stare at the pink cloud waterfountains

And wonder now who is ever gonna find me?



Well who doesn't have a thing with power

But how it leaves you late and lonely

And now with freedom my front porch

I eat my dinner with 'if only'



I give when the giving's easy

And then then I crack when the give's too hard

I adore the distant hazy

And then I run when it's in my yard



My my...my, my

My my...my, my



I remember that time I told you

Abut your love and the polished stone

It's so easy to forgive you

Now that I'm polishing up my own



I got to kiss the face of heaven

And then when she kissed me back

I tried to roll my lucky sevens

And now I'm back on the inside track



My my...my, my

My my...my, my



Help me remember those times

Every once in a while

When I'm a quick flashing light

When I'm aglow in a midnight smile

Or deep in a wide, wide night



That I'm glad we're more than bodies

And that we're ever souls in journey

I am thrilled this earth is beauty

And there's no past tense for 'easy'



My my...my, my

My my...my, my
