Welcome....

To city limits...

to summer breezes....

to skirts and stilettos....

to thigh-highs....

to short rest stops...

all I wanted was a cracker....

all i got was....

and then....

a sunset....

all i got was....

a dream...

a banana boat...

a rest stop....

a stealer....

a theif....

one more....

a banana boat....

a stealer....

a waif...

and in all your healing....

i never leaned on....

trickery....

like a leaf....

falling...

sheisedo....

red like a diamond...

wrong wedding ring...

maybe i'll carry....

you in jest....

like falling out of the sky....

in rythym....

in a playing field...

in shattered gold...

nightengale...

i wanted to steal...

your strength...

and all i got...

was rythym.....
