Between the Lines

I moved on past the pretense of a frail design
into the space where reality makes a good man blind
then, with this soul I clamored in the darkest night
until I knew the man inside could lead me to the light

Life can be a prison it can chain and coil your heart
in the shadows we're all victims of someone else's dart
in the lazy hazy aftermath of brand new shining dawn
I caught the wind and took a spin back to where I belong

When the thunder got to clapping and the lightning flashed
I was suspended in a dream between my future and my past
Oh, how the echoes sold me to the sorrow of my shame
until I realized all at once I had but myself to blame

Now the poverty of passion binds my days in chains
still I'm thankful for the darkness, I still love the rain
I am headed towards a thousand poems along this bye and bye
you will find me there, between the lines, in the open sky.

Then, when the evenings descend to the shasdows of the night
I will sleep upon a cloud dressed in pale moonlight
