Dashboard Daze
Do you ever think what might have been
When you drive alone at night
Just you and your thoughts in darkness
In the glow of the dashboard light
We were so young and innocent then
Playing parts in by a grown-ups game
Suspended in our own universe
Where tomorrow never came.
That final day when you slammed the door
The walls came tumbling down
I held my breath and prayed to God
That you would turn around
Although it was oh so long ago
I think of you now and then
And wonder had I called you back
what really would have been.
I hope you wrote that brilliant book
That was pulsing through your veins
And still adhere to the adage
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
