lyrics

Driving Down
The Darkened Road
Tunnel vision leads me on
No pause to shift
Or ease the load
Detour not into wine or song

Still me with
Your rasping nails
Press the colours from my flesh
The Dervish stillness
Ready, Poised
Pressing down

Grasping hands
Add to my load
Slow my footsteps, risk the loss
A lighter tread
Not worth the cost
Desperate thought that makes me pause

Pull me through
The forest green
Press the colours from my flesh
Smell of freedom
Sanctus, sanctum
Pressing down

Sterner voices
Make demands
Alibi of a normal rhyme
Notion-less
The life inside
The heavy lightness of treading time

Stay with me
In head or heart
Press the colours from my flesh
Wonder comes
The mist arrives
Pressing down

Take my hand
Light in time
Press the colours from my flesh
The wearying hours
The morning sun
Pressing down
