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
