The miles click by, and my thoughts are of you Tracing the Mississippi at Mud Island The little motel we stayed at that Christmas Beale Street on a hot July night Cold beer and hot music, dancing in the street Making love in the pool, after heating up in the sauna Hamburgers and beer, engagement ring, more dancing Love and laughter and trust and love Talking, sharing, living life Trying to kill the demons of the past Denying the existence of all others Hiding in a haze of heat and music and alcohol As I pass the nuclear plant, I am reminded of the laughter and song The joy of Christmas shared, though The pain of the 'uninvite' still burned And then, once across the Virginia line A new adventure, unshared, unfettered By memories of past trips, only Dimmed by your absence Do you think of me at all as you Adventure yourself, do the memories Ever return to your mind unbidden And refuse to go away? |
