Streaks In The Sky

Thursday

It's just the southern road that you leave by and open windows in your car.

It's the breathing of the city that says leave me behind.



Forget tomorrow side with the open road.

Pulled apart for you.

In the window unlocked and left open.

For the rising sun taking you back home.



If we never meet again it would be too soon.

I'm glad I ran from you and now my life's a mess.

And I'll have to admit that I have made a mistake.

And every path that I take has lead me right back to here.

And I never should have left.



It's just the second chance that I dreamt of.

When you took me into your lives

But there's a peak we have to climb over

so get a running start



Sitting here

Waiting a year

Hoping for something to change your mind

and in this time I'll see that this is all we have

Before I leave I'm opening that door in my house.

To face the ones I've left behind

Portrait of a man who stayed

His face is folded up and grayed

But there's something in his eyes that tells me this is the life for me
