set them free
now each will find 
his own sun...

Down the road lest been betrayed 
     Now my hopes have ran astray 
Down the road to forgotten 
     I lay my dreams unsoughten 

Dashing the way in to the day

The way it's paved for another time 
     The less it is untwined. 

Let me remember how it was today 
     And the thoughts if disarray. 
Betwixed the lines unseen 
     The reason seems a kind of dream.
