Dirt was always in the mind didn't matter days behind
Dirt was always spread
Sometimes good but usually dread

Place was nowhere you belong dirt doesn't have a song
Dirt was always swirling
In the mind or kind

Train stopped
Dry day
Looked at eyes closed with picking sand
And words they could hear

Told her then I would take her
Knew the plans that would make her
Said she promised him long ago
She'd keep her word and with him sow

Got onboard that train that night
Knew what I'd done weren't right
Kept her mind into my head
A year later she was dead

Gave herself as family said
Frightened my offer was a bigger dread
Old man took her as her family planned
Now she lies not in my arms but land

We all face these chunks of life and a lot of time we run away but we always remember what if?

Thanks

Dave
