The Trail

I want to walk down Byres Road, tacking towards Partick, till we have no idea where we are and don't care

With the sun in our faces and the wind at our backs

Hills and mountains could be our playground, rivers and lakes there to slake our thirst

As the sun sets and the stars like dust scatter through the sky, we could sweep them up one by one till the dawn breaks

 

I want to hold on to you till it's  not the closeness that matters anymore, it's the letting go we fear

With the hope that we crave and the moon that casts shadows

The pillars that stop us looking back keep us moving into pastures new, throwing off the rainfall

As the sun rises and the mist burns off into the ether, we could fly on the currents till we can see the ground no more

 

I want to sit and talk to you, ask questions I'd never dare ask and you'd never dare answer, unwrap the present to find the past

With the fear in our eyes and tremor in our hands

The trail stretching before and behind us as the Urubamba urges us upwards with a sparkle of laughter

Then as the horizon cracks our vision we could lie down, sleep and dream of tomorrow.
