It eased my mind and soothed my soul Then ruled the darkness black as coal The Summer wind in times as these Blew steady South down through the trees And,oh, my fondest loves steadfast Fled one by one with eyes downcast Move my footsteps,make it rain And take me home benieth the train
Long ago I'd known the way Ran the roads 'till she went away But maybe while those days blew past I lost my hold and paid at last She seeks neither truth nor sane And I couldn't live these lies again
So through her cries and broken heart I felt great sadness tear apart The wonderous woman, I instead Searched for a cure,she wished me dead I woke inside my lover's fire Cried her name as never prior Clawed my way to better air Her cutting laughter ended there
I alone not looking back Wandered briefly down the track
