musing on meaning of life and taking the road less traveled

lyrics

Last Station
©2003 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

There are two ways of going
One is strange places and
Stranger still faces
And the other is sit and wait
At the LAST STATION

It don't matter how fast you travel
The past will just unravel
As you hurtle through the blackness
To an unmarked destination

Count up all your blessing
And apply fresh dressings
To the wounds that keep weeping
As the sky goes flashing by

The years take on a color
A patina like any other form
Of wear and tear like oxygen
Burns iron down to rust

There are two ways of going
One is strange places and
Stranger still faces
And the other is sit and wait
At the LAST STATION

It don't matter how fast you travel
The past will just unravel
As you hurtle through the blackness
To an unmarked destination

Count up all your blessing
And apply fresh dressings
To the wounds that keep weeping
As the sky goes flashing by

The years take on a color
A patina like any other form
Of wear and tear like oxygen
Burns iron down to rust
And dust to dust
And dust to dust
And dust to dust
