Take Her by the Hand

There ain't no romance on the open road
It's like ridin' towards the sunset in search of gold
Heart's been trampled 'neath a lifetime of dust
Foolish I'm searchin' for a soul I can trust
Days spent dreadin' the nights so long
Walkin' in the verses of same sad song
Believe me when I find her gonna make my stand
Bend in her shadow and take her by the hand
We all share a sentence we ponder at night
We all have scars you can't see in the light
Wander this world as if we're alone
One in the river as she whispers her poem
Days spent dreadin' the nights so long
Walkin' in the verses of same sad song
Believe me when I find her gonna make my stand
Bend in her shadow and take her by the hand
But will I ever find her
The one in my dreams
Will she elude me
Like so many it seems
The heart is a compass
It points out the way
Has mine broken
And led me astray
She entered the room, time it slowed
My heart awoke like a seed 'neath the snow
Well they say love's blind, when you see it you'll know
It ages like wine from the bloom of a rose
Days spent dreadin' the nights so long
Walkin' in the verses of same sad song
Believe me when I find her gonna make my stand
Bend in her shadow and take her by the hand
