From the recording Bird On A Wing
Lyrics
Jody is on the road again going nowhere fast
With two tickets for the bus and a faded pack in her hands
All the miles were flashing by like the years of her life
And regret was pouring in like southern rain
You can only go so long
Knowing you are on the wrong train
The landscape changed from Spanish moss to ruby colored stone
Maybe this time around, she’d call it home
All the driving and the games, the pleasure and the pain
Of never staying in one place for long
All the years blend into one, long story in her head
Just a distant memory of things now gone
How much time, will it take
For my Dream, to settle and ease
And why is it slipping away
This Time
She looked at all the open sky and the pale black night
And the moon shone down from far away, into her eyes
Surrounded by the sounds of empty worn out towns
She headed past the city limit sign
Her arms became the grass and her hair turned into sand
She thought she disappeared nothing ever felt so right
BR – So right, so right, right, igh, ight
Stories sometimes tell themselves if you let them be
Every day another chapter takes its place
Climb to fast to run; try to catch the setting sun
As you see it slipping far away
The days turn into years; the years are out of time
Just a distant memory of things gone by
How much time, will it take
For my Dream, to settle and ease
And why is it slipping away
Yeah How much time, will it take
For my Dream, to settle and ease
And why is it slipping away
This Time, this time
Slip away this time, yeah, this time
