LYRICS BY RALPH PRESSEL

© 1989 RALPH PRESSEL

Chorus:

Long ride, the other side of one long day.

Wrinkled shirt.  A city's dirt.  Worn cloth and mind.

Stanza #1:

Rush within a steel skin.

Review a treasure passed --

Siren tease, fat summer leaves

Wash by glazed eyes.

Stanza #2:

Day's memory, like an emery

Board to healing wound.

Shackles rattle, as braves tattle

Tales of meanest coup.

Stanza #3:

I've heard it all:

The rise and fall

Of everything on earth.

Stanza #4:

Chill wine,

Night's arms confine

To sleep.

Stanza #5:

Then jobs with men

Line up again,

One hundred to a car.
