Human Drama - Another Fifty Miles & Let The Darkness In

"Another Fifty Miles"

Put one foot before the other
Brother, there is no turning back
You have turned around before
To find all you had built destroyed

Take your hammer and your nail
And all the love shared without condition
In your hands it must remain
And not until the grounds of truth
Do you lay your stake

Tomorrow you will walk another fifty miles
At night fall you will rest your weary head
If when you wake you find the rain
Has found you once again
Tomorrow walk another fifty miles

Blow cold wind rise high tide
Darkness show your howling sound
Mountain steep, I face you now
No longer will I seek the hidden path

Tomorrow you will walk another fifty miles
At night fall you will rest your weary head
If when you wake you find the rain
Has found you once again
Tomorrow walk another fifty miles

At everything that I called home
At every fledging empty soul
That stole the name I call my own
I won't cast another stone
I will walk on

"Let The Darkness In"

I feel a story coming on
A chance to raise a few questions
About the simple solutions
That were the answers before

I see a tear running down
A silent plea I must put to words
You will interpret your own way
As I must live in its pain

This song is hurting like a thousand before
Maybe I should stop
Before I open that door again
And let the darkness in

But it's pounding so hard
I hold my head to drown it out
Then take my pen and write it down
Another of life's little miseries

That I try and understand
But I am swallowed up too fast
And down the road I'd like to walk
I tumble out of control

I feel an ending coming on
The final fact to your fiction
A heart and soul lay sinking
And all you want to do is sing along

Sing it loud until the last note ends
The bottle in my hand is reflecting again
You can disappear but I must stay
I feel another story coming on

I let the darkness in
Must let the darkness in
