Bound for you,
Down the old rainy roadâ?¦
Railroad flatsâ?¦
Dusty streets
That my feet used to know
Bought me back,
And the dawn was waiting there.
You were gone,
And I was never prepared.
Opened the door
That I closed long ago.
Fell insideâ?¦
Felt the room
And the carpet below,
Left behind.
And I saw the empty chair
Beside the wall,
And I was never prepared.
Walked the floor
Where we both used to lie,
All too close.
Fate was yours,
But the future was mine,
And I chose.
And I climbed the crooked stairs,
So resigned,
For I was never prepared.
I can tell
The beginning from end
In my soul.
I fell out,
Closed the door once again,
Uncontrolled.
And I spoke a silent prayerâ?¦
Hit the road,
But I was never prepared.
