Pennan Brae - Stride
Stand on hallowed ground
I’m not stepping down
See you circling round
Scavenge what I found
Holding firm my place
Don’t plan to retrace
There’s no about face
Primed to give it chase
Then the lights go out
World is filled with doubt
As the room spins round
Voices make no sound
Then the picture fades
Play the ace of spades
An impounding rout
Ending to this bout
Where you going
Why you showing
Then it see-saws
Joker laughs he-haw
Hand is misplaced
Dealer loses face
How you doing
What’s accruing
The room goes dark
Situation stark
As I embark
Out upon a lark
Decoding all the rules
Impersonating a fool
Deciphering all the clues
Crawling on my knees
Back to your side
Beggin’ baby please
Let me turn the tide
Maybe we could ease
Let the current ride
Sense it in the breeze
Take it all in stride
Planted firm my feet
No plans to retreat
At a dead-end street
In the rain and sleet
I maintain my stance
Frozen in a trance
Sneak-peeking a glance
Staring down your lance
Tying one on
Going going gone
Riding dusk ‘til dawn
Routing deep and long
Knock upon your door
Crawl along the floor
Hungry for a score
Desperate for some more
Why you stalling
What you hauling
Sleep in my car
Journeyed now so far
Full out of gas
Could not make it last
Why you swaying
Who you paying
Look at the stars
Gazing back afar
Do you surmise
Watching our sunrise
I think of you
Remember me
Reflect upon
What could’ve been
Decoding all the rules
Impersonating a fool
Deciphering all the clues
Crawling on my knees
Back to your side
Beggin’ baby please
Let me turn the tide
Maybe we could ease
Let the current ride
Sense it in the breeze
Take it all in stride
