pilgrim road

    what's left in place turns slowly into stone
    all focus goes to give us that one view
    and what we know is built into the bone

    let others who are angry leave the zone
    before the contest is quite halfway through
    what's left in place turns slowly to stone

    no messages arrive by mail or phone
    we have to get up when we see the cue
    and what we know is built into the bone

    you might expect a visitor to groan
    on learning just how little that we knew
    what's left in place turns slowly into stone

    that tiny bird we learn had never flown
    but would be happy with our sordid crew
    and what we know is built into the bone

    this kind of crossing is made all alone
    there is no need our tickets to renew
    what's left in place turns slowly into stone
    and what we know is built into the bone
