    Default "Along the Way"

    "Along the Way" (roughly to the tune of 'Castles in the Sky' by Don McLean)

    Two or three were all I ever knew, beggin’ for their trust
    Hazy mystics stranded on the pier, trouble’s down at dusk
    There’s dolls in the valley, plastic life cause of plastic things
    I think someone said their happy, what a dull song they sing
    Sunlight through the window, her face was aflame
    Bright with promises, just shadows of her shame
    I was lost for her and lost I remained
    I was born in a river and she was born anew
    And it crossed our lips, we said “I’m in love with you”

    Five hundred days, swept up in a vision in the hills
    Valley frills and valley thrill, but I couldn’t hold her here
    Summer’s best and small town threats trying to disappear
    Unwritten poems and painted foes, things I’d hope you’d like to hear

    And the dance, it’s through, it never was, I hope you can understand
    That doesn’t mean I can have you, but I’ve got to play my hand
    Who am I to crown the king, but I’ve got to try and I’ve got to sing
    It’s your gypsy song and your wild soul
    Your desert song and your rock and roll
    Your ocean mind and your windswept soul
    It’s the way you’re free
    Oh, you are the world to me
