Blackwater Bay

I watch the sun rise over Blackwater Bay blood red and promising heat I'm not surprised that I lost my way and spent so much time on the street In my defense I've got nothing to say as I watch the sunrise on Blackwater Bay I've got things to do and places to go I'm thinking of starting today I never knew there's so much I don't know I can't let me stand in my way too much time gone and too little ahead I battle the passage of time The train that I'm on won't stop for the dead as she makes her way on down the line Should the good Lord allow a few more years from now I will be able to say I've followed my heart and I've done my part when I come home to Blackwater Bay I've seen the sun rise over Blackwater Bay and I want to see it again If I don't try I might as well die Than to go back to where I have been I watch the sun rise over Blackwater Bay Blood red and promising heat Lord give me strength and show me the way Help me to stand on my feet Humbly I pray that You won't let me stray then guide me back home To Blackwater Bay
