THE SIGN - SOLITARY WALK sing 042010 - EUREKA

James Michael Taylor

THE SIGN

The sign on the fence at the signal
Was whippin’ in the wind
I felt on the dash for a pencil
And a Taco Bell napkin

The naked prayer of a family
Was written on the tarp
Rain-drenched and torn by the weather
The message, razor sharp

“John, come home to your family.
Things will be okay. Call us, please.
No questions asked. only good food and sleep.”

I’ve seen a lot of signs along Life’s highway
Trying to sell a lot of stuff
Most go in one ear and I go my way
But, forgetting that sign would be tough

“John, come home to your family.
Things will be okay. Call us, please.
No questions asked. only good food and sleep.”

The sign on the fence at the signal
Was whippin’ in the wind
I reached on the dash for a pencil
And a Taco Bell napkin
……

Tho I follow in the footsteps of my friends
And the road I walk down has been tramped into stone
All the tears that I’ve cried will have been turned into dust
And my life will pass like a shadow into the shade
La sombra, a la sombra

When the weight of the sun on my eyes
Is replaced by the cool silence of the tunnel
Like a lamb with a broken leg I will be left behind
And the cries of your new born will steal your thots from me

When I lie beneath my little cross
And your ridged wheels rattle my bones
I will trust you to leave me with peace in your hearts
For that will be the end of my world
Por esso sera el fin de me mundo

Camanate solitario…
It’s a solitary walk…..
