Streaks in the Sky - Thursday

It’s just the southern road that you leave by and open windows in your car

It’s the breathing of the city that says leave me behind

Forget tomorrow side with the open road

Pulled apart for you

In the window unlocked and left open

For the rising sun taking you back home

If we never meet again it would be too soon

I’m glad I ran from you and now my life’s a mess

And I’ll have to admit that I have made a mistake

And every path that I take has lead me right back to here

And I never should have left

It’s just the second chance that I dreamt of

When you took me into your lives

But there’s a peak we have to climb over

So get a running start

Sitting here

Waiting a year

Hoping for something to change your mind

And in this time I’ll see that this is all we have

Before I leave I’m opening that door in my house

To face the ones I’ve left behind

Portrait of a man who stayed

His face is folded up and grayed

But there’s something in his eyes that tells me this is the life for me
