How can you tell a man which way to go?
Though there's two lanes on the highway, they both run on the same road
Watch yer speed
Turn up your radio
It's a long way running when you're running out your soles
I was once a sunrise just like you
Now I ride upon my sunrise turning sunsets into moons
Your gaze is true
Fixed on the man I knew
I've been harder pressed before but I'm just runnin' down my fuse
And a man stands alone
a man stands alone in his mind
I'm no man
my face is young
But I'll carve patterns in my creases til my wrinkles start to come
What darkness in this world defines your light?
and who are you to shine it when my dark is burning bright?
I see the shadows in ever passing tide
It's the wave that makes the break but it's the break that gives it might
And a man stands alone
a man stands alone in his mind
I'm no man -- my face is young
But I'll carve patterns in my creases til my wrinkles start to come

Sierra, your music resonates my soul. The voice of Billie Holiday and the stylings of Django, gritty American songwriter music! Thank you!!! Favorite track = Rocket b_ret93
