Dusk was fast approaching As I paced back and forth Bead of sweat traced my brow I had no place to go But I had to get from where I was Wasn't wanted there no more So I grabbed a white shirt and pair of black slacks Slipped out back The night was peaceful Had no fixed address no one looking for me The path was clear So I took it Run and kicking From where I was before Clock is ticking Searching for the exit door Fingers picking Master key on the floor Nothing clicking The sweat dripping through my pores Pulse is racing Searching for a second way Fingers tracing Gather up my dossier Heartbeat chasing Panoramic quick survey Body bracing Leap of faith from the fray The Moon began to rise along that eastern ridge Arcing slowly across the sky Looking down on me For I was soul bare with a ragged stare Weathered skin and a little thin But I was still moving I passed the cacti which stood like sentinels Saluting my passage Stoic silent I just kept on thinking reminiscing reflecting Thought of you from time to time Did you feel it Run and kicking From where I was before Clock is ticking Searching for the exit door Fingers picking Master key on the floor Nothing clicking The sweat dripping through my pores Pulse is racing Searching for a second way Fingers tracing Gather up my dossier Heartbeat chasing Panoramic quick survey Body bracing Leap of faith from the fray So I looked up ahead and thought to double back Maybe change tack But kept on track For I was a solo hobo with no loco moto But that was fine by me This moment anyway And as the day began to break A picture of your face shone across my mind Warmed me to my soul And I felt a lifetime pass in one nighttime With answers to questions I didn't have So I journeyed on
