Iwake up in the morning

AndI raise my weary head

I'vegot an old coat for a pillow

Andthe earth was last nights bed

Idon't know where I'm going

Onlygod knows where I've been

I'm a devil on the run

Asix gun lover a candle in the wind



Firstthing she felt was the warm sunlight on her face. Then she recognisedthe smell of gasoline. A door slammed somewhere, the sound of carsdriving down the highway reached her ears. Reluctantly she opened hereyes. Almost expecting she was still dreaming. But this was no dream. The memories of last night flooded back. She was on the road again.


Thekiss reappeared as she closed her eyes again. She could feel him nearher. This man she loved. Now she was certain. And the knowledge hurt.But her decision was made and now it was too late to turn back. Goingback and finding that he didn't love her would have killed her.


"wannahave breakfast?" The driver asked and she opened her eyes again."Sure, I'm starving." It took only a short time to slip into herjeans and pull on her shirt. Not bothering that he was watching herthe whole time through the open door. There was a chill to the earlymorning air but you could tell that this was going to be another hotsummer day. On the way to the restaurant she stretched herself andinhaled the air deeply. "Hadn't had a sleep like this for ages." He just smiled at her. "Where are you going to? You didn't say lastnight." She shrugged. "Just follow the road, see where it takesme."

"Aftergetting my load I am going to Spain. Like to join me?" he askedcasually. "Sure" her smile widened. " I am back"



Youask about my conscience

AndI offer you my soul

You'llask if I grow I be a wise man

WellI ask if I grow old
