She stared wildly at the phone She had never felt so hungry Or had been more aware of being alone I pondered in dim moonlight Where was next she would stay But as I stopped to listen She continued to walk slowly away
I sat among the cicadas Serenading each other in time I closed my eyes and played pretend Wishing that they were mine
Nothing is worth fighting for For that is what theyβll say Because listening to the crying willows Is all that will drown out the day
I galloped to a clearing One bathing in sweet sun And I sat again and pondered Just how the west was won
Is it silly for me to spend my days In sweet and empty solitude? Or am I just greater than the rest Pardon me for being so rude
I know my day has come along And for that I am full of life This will be my greatest song Which I will sing even through strife.
