It's a cruel melody when you...
Dirt Path
It's a cruel melody
when you are trapped
by your mind
Stuck walking down
the same dirt path
all by your lonesome self
as people come and go,
but none ever stay
Unable to stray
from the path
leading you to
the unknown
But as the path continues,
as you grow old,
and tired,
and broken,
and your feet are now sore
from walking along
that old dirt path
And finally,
you wander to the side
of the path
and rest your aching body
on the soft, green grass
You feel free for the
first time,
when you leave that
old dirt pathway
But as you sit
and rest,
you begin to drift as
the green grass,
now a sparkling blue river
pulls you away
What a cruel melody
when you finally break free
of your mind,
only to fade away
forever.
