Five to five - exhilarating, cool spring drive,
I tell you friend it’s motivating, great to be alive,
The sun is setting right across the Western hills,
Ferocious red a glowin’ ‘bove the spires and mills,
Been reelin’ and ruckin’ … our feet on fire,
Coiled like leads - you know we’re real hot wires.
Waiting at the crossroads where the four winds blowed…
Across the roamin’ fields to the Evenlode.
Dreamin’ of the lady - delicious like a flower,
Dying to reveal to her the secret of the hour,
Knew that she would kill me - murder with a kiss,
Pay the price and smile through ferocity and bliss,
A capsule - still would stand all time like amber traps a fly,
Unmoving and unfeeling with the eons rushing by,
Cast in rock - a million years, before the dawn of road…
But way behind the birth of the Evenlode.
Climbed a dusty tower with a clock upon its face,
Right up to the top - with a rivelino grace,
Stood there with a leaning stance – thrilled about the chase,
Glimpse of bliss & harmony, a twist in it’s embrace,
Mesmerized and energized – right at the same time,
Tried to catch a breathe, hold a second so sublime.
Looking at this stunning view when suddenly time slowed…
In the twilight valley of the Evenlode.
Destiny is calling us - feel it in the nerves,
Biting like a crocodile - it pricks and jabs and swerves,
Recognise the feelin’ but cannot find its place,
Beginning or the ending of the supersonic race?
Perhaps it doesn’t matter after all is said and done,
You have to learn to walk the walk, the essence is the fun.
Me - I love the winter sun and love it when it’s snowed…
Especially on the rocky road to Evenlode.
