I guess this is where it ends
No slamming door and no-one crying
Just sighing soft into the wind
Letting loneliness set in
I guess that this is where it ends
But ain’t that just the way it goes
Seasons change and people follow
The wildflowers in the spring
It’s just an ordinary thing
Ain’t that just the way it goes
On down the backroads of my memory
There’s an old abandoned mine
And I’ve just tossed another precious thing
Down where the light will never shine
Cause there’s no glitter in the dark
Now that ol’ diamond can’t remind me
Of all the love i used to hold
Might as well be black-rock coal
There’s no glitter in the dark
Time can do some funny things
You hardly notice then you’re dying
I don’t know just where it goes
Flashes by then turns to gold
Time can do some funny things
On down the backroads of my memory
There’s an ocean deep and wide
Full of things you might see glimmering
Down where the light will never shine
But nothing glitters in the dark
Where the sea lay cold and deep and silent
All those tired sunken dreams
Just turn to rust and lose their gleam
There’s no glitter in the dark
I guess this is where it ends
But a dying dream is still an ember
Glowing red like burning coal
Until the ashes all go cold
I guess this is where it ends
This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
