Paroles de After The Storm

I walked out on the levee to watch the river and feel the rain
To see if there was something I could find
I wouldn't be here now but I sort of missed the train
The way I miss the one I left behind

Circles of the past fade away so fast
While they spin and turn you live and learn
I heard you when you were leaving,
it was just a quick goodbye
I didn't even wonder for how long
The paddle wheels are turning,
the steamboat whistles cry
I wonder now if I'm the one who's gone

If I'd taken that job in Santa Fe
I never would have lost what I lost today
I'd go somewhere if I had somewhere to go

You're in Baton Rouge I bet, or maybe Lafayette
Houston, San Antone, it's all the same
Some things I just don't get,
I'm not hearing from you yet
Still waiting for the help that never came

I'll walk out on the highway and see what I can find
Maybe nothing more than just a ride While they spin and turn you live and learn
Time is to the game like fire is to the flame
There's nothing more to learn
Just let it burn
