above i watch a starry dance

on each straight back so much has been bestowed
there's much to say but silence seems the best
around the hillside i see there's more road

the watchful rooster at midnight has crowed
but there's no dawn nor any place to rest
on each straight back so much has been bestowed

i've left behind the lush green lawns fresh mowed
to make this journey at my own behest
around the hillside i see there's more road

upon these mountains it has never snowed
still here in these green islands of the blest
on each straight back so much has been bestowed

the blinking lights are a quite open code
but knowing it is never for the best
around the hillside i see there's more road

so many miles before my own abode
my body's tired my mind still full of zest
on each straight back so much has been bestowed
around the hillside i see there's more road
