And dust. The warm wind blew,
I contemplated life
And being with you
The planet Venus shot up over
Your left shoulder, like magick
And I watched the sun
Sink pleasantly in the West.
The whole sky was purple
Everything was purple,
With bats darting though the air.
Fields; of short time together
Harvest so far away, alfalfa grass
Swaying beneath us,
Glowing like spirits, And stars
In constellations.
You with something profound to say
All the way
All the way
Just not to the Finish Line
I know what would happen
If I let you take me that way
All the way.......
Just not to the Finish Line
Just not to the Finish Line
Racer, going 'round the corner
At ungodly speed
Clutching the wall; dangerously close
With perfect concentration and precision;
You're at the wheel
I'm still in school
You're headed out to anywhere;
I'm on cruise control, all alone
On my way, I hope
To the Almighty Heavens
Above. To do what?
You come and your gone,
Like a rabbit being chased by a dog.
My son, nothing to smoke him with
And now he is gone. I'm sad.
He was so fast, I was so slow
Maybe another day?
All the way
Just not to the Finish Line
