One-Way Track (song & audio)

by Jeff Mason — Read all 207 poems by Jeff Mason

Ok, I have at least a hook line melody below, in a WAV file. The lyrics, for vocal reasons, will need work, to mesh with the feel that the song is starting to acquire.

Friday, May 7, 2004



Click here to hear the hook line melody

Leavin' it all behind, baby --
never lookin' back --

I wanna go
where the cold winds blow --

On a one-way track ...
to nowhere.

Been wrong so long,
I just don't know what's right...

Don't know how long,
I can survive without your light...

I keep tryin' not to quit;
But maybe it's better,

to just forget...

About you...

Leavin' it all behind, baby --
never lookin' back --

I wanna go
where the cold winds blow --

On a one-way track ...
to nowhere.

Keep seeing you there...
Ev'rywhere I look

In the mirror --
In the rain --
On the cover of a book...

Never giving up,

No matter...

what it took...

So tell me please,
'Cause I can't see...

when, baby, when...
When did we --

Stop being one?

I really don't know,

But maybe it's better...
to just let go.

So... I'm

Leavin' it all behind, baby --
never lookin' back --

I wanna go
where the cold winds blow --

On a one-way track ...
to nowhere.

"One-Way Track To Nowhere (song)" is the tract that leads to eternity.

I found some messages behind the lines! They are making me think!

Whether the Author did it intentionally or not this is a striking writing, and have learned from its arcane!

On this forty-seventh day of Spring I Salute You, Sublime Poet!
