I was thinking today
if you would remember
you choose to remember
what you left me out there
in the cold days fading away
I see you so near
I hear your voice calling
it calls me from these pages to you
beyond the blue,
so sudden too soon
the secrets we knew
I was thinking today
if you would surrender
to feelings that you tried deserting
and if given the choice
I?d still wait for the moment
still wait for the moment
when I could have
a hero like you
days fading away
but I see you so clear
I hear your voice calling
it calls me from these pages to you
beyond the blue.
In the quiet morning
There was much despair
And in the hours that followed
No one could repair
That poor girl
Tossed by the tides of misfortune
Barely here to tell her tale
Rolled in on a sea of disaster
Rolled out on a mainline rail
She once walked tight at my side
I'm sure she walked by you
Her striding steps could not deny
Torment from a child who knew
That in the quiet morning
There would be despair
And in the hours that followed
No one could repair
That poor girl
She cried out her song so loud
It was heard the whole world round
A symphony of violence
The great southwest unbound
