Rawlins Cross - A Sad Story

Текст с Bandcamp’a: “Here’s a little story ’bout a young man’s dream A minor variation on a well known theme Stars in his eyes and visions of fame and fortune, happiness and love Well he’s off to the city with the small town blues Gunnin’ for a headline in the Daily News Not afraid of dancing on the edge of the knife Of rolling up his sleeves and taking on life A maverick ego on a one way ride Contentious issues on a turning tide A jumped up notion and a burning pride An un-named yearning for the world inside He can feel his success falling into place Scoutin’ out the scene, pickin’ up the pace Opportunity knocks, best make haste An open window and a fall from grace It’s a question of men and mice Dive into the game and don’t think twice Win your freedom on a toss of the dice Win a soft eyed angel with a heart of ice He took a wrong turn, goin’ with the flow A losing streak, that’s the way things go Just another victim of the undertow But you reap what you sow as the old folks know Here we go around the bend again A lonely soul on a runaway train The whistle wailing out a sad refrain About a wasted lifetime or a love in vain (Geoff Panting) from Living River, released March 19, 1996 Song written by Geoff Panting (SOCAN)“
