Yeah, she’s been here for a while
She says, “Sometimes, I think I’m going crazy!”
Then she forces a smile.
Out beyond the light
Salt flats stretch to the horizon
Hot wind blows through the night
Inside her mind.
Skin is peeling on my shoulders
Some folks have to sit outside
The screen door slams against the darkness
A million stars light up the night.
Somewhere over the horizon
I feel a restless energy
A yellow moon is rising
Maybe it’s time to run away – across the sea
To somewhere we’ll be free
In a town where we’ve never been
Maybe this time, we’ll play to win.
Lisa shakes her head so slowly
The smile has faded from her eyes
She says, “I want to, and you know that
But I don’t think you realize - ”
Somewhere down the road
Storm clouds stretch to the horizon
That southern wind blows cold
Maybe it’s time to run away – across the sea
Let the trade winds carry me
To a place that I’ve never been
Maybe this time, I’ll play to win.
Out beyond the light
Sand dunes stretch to the horizon
The fire burns tonight
In her memory.
