Back to Me

Deep in reverie tonight, this song lyric came to me, about getting back to the simple life....


I’m looking through the clouds and the fog and the smoke
Looking for anyone who might offer hope
Because I want to get back
Back to me

I hear the train whistling over far flung hills
I’ve been meditating and taking every pill
Because I want to get back
Back to me

The sounds of the rivers and the loves of my youth
The echo of something a little more like truth
They’re all coming back
Back to me

Back to me
Where the flowers blossom and the green grass grows
Back to me
Where I escape into the sunset and no one ever knows
Back to me
Somehow I’ve got to make it
Back to me

I’ve been waiting on the women so far from home
They tantalize my body but they isolate my soul
Now I want to get back
Back to me

Too long on the prairie where the wild dogs run
Too long with the shysters and the ladies and the guns
Now I want to get back
Back to me

I know the light is fading but I do believe there’s time
I see the looming mountain but I’m willing now to climb
Because I want to get back
Back to me

Back to me
Where the flowers blossom and the green grass grows
Back to me
Where I escape into the sunset and no one ever knows
Back to me
Somehow I’ve got to make it
Back to me
