Fair

I know, I haven't been fair
Never even looked you square in the eye
And said I'd be there
I know, I've taken up our time
Filling up the road
With the thoughts I should be sharing...

...even if it left us crying out
It can't be that bad
Just look at the photographs
Of the lives we wish we hadn't lead
So long

This Is The Road

In my mind my destination stands clearly before me
But not the course of this road
The mile signs all say, if you are to keep going
It's probably best that you not know, how far you've yet to go

I've played in the hills of West Virginia
Rolled down it's rocky river
Gone and tasted the wine of Moldova
And come back for Minnesota's air

This is the road to wherever I'm going
This in the path to there
My tracks look a bit like I drive while I'm dreaming
It's the scenic route to somewhere...
