I was away when I heard
the news
my brother called me up
from the damned waiting room
I got a ticket to ride back home
my mind was racing in fear of the unknown
I saw a dry barren land
all looked so lifeless and bland on my way
wait up before you cross the lake
down by the ocean we hoped to build a house
tune into the sound of waves and watch the sun go down
riding along the open road in a haze
it only took hours
but felt like many days
I saw a dry barren land
all looked so lifeless and bland
the road into town seemed so long the bird’s sang a sad sad song
on my way
wait up before you cross the lake
