Old Winding Roads
© Elam Blackman 2000

the music that lines my walls doesn't interest me anymore
I used to be a mix tape machine but now it's all just a bore
I like the feel of fretted strings under callused finger tips
running a path to find the wind and the feel of pulsing under ribs

convenience makes life so unsatisfying
old winding roads are the best for driving

I need to do the thinking that is like a question
when clouds are pillows to walk on
and flying is possible if you try and the best time is the dawn
turn your eyes to the sky it's crazy blue
and the clouds are so damn dark I don't know what they'll do
the air is crisp after the rain mmm that's true
the trails are a calling pull on your boots

convenience makes life so unsatisfying
old winding roads are the best for driving
there are no more days that I can pass caught up in the biggest of lies
the song birds wont always sing so I'm going to listen by and by

convenience makes life so unsatisfying
old winding roads are the best for driving
