Lost Highway
I do not walk for it's something I choose,
There is no transportation, only dead mans' shoes;
This empty highway is the path I tread,
So cold and remote, all colour bled
Before the white sun with no shadow cast,
Beneath the full moon whan day has passed.
I will not speak for who will receive?
No gospels to preach for I do not believe;
On the telegraph lines that sing overhead
The black crows perch then drop down dead,
Their corpses dust in less than a day,
The darkest hearts all blown away.
I never cry for it does no good,
Nor harbour regrets even though I should,
Dead stars shine down on me below,
No longer existing, so what can they know?
I just walk and walk the passage of time,
I walk the narrowest, finest line...
