BOOK FOUR: DISCOVERY

lyrics: J. Morse © 1984

XVIII - Business Strip (part two)

On the final run, my goal comes into view
I pass the storefronts on my way to you
The lights are soft aglow, faintest neon buzz
We know there's nothing we can do
To return to the past
And see ourselves as we were
As we were. . .
   Remember what you thought long ago
   All the poor men's children dying away
   You never thought you'd look at things that way

XIX - Intersection

Do me just a little favor and prepare yourself for me
I'm not the man you knew before, just look and you will see
Though I still think I want you, I'm not so sure it's real
But shortly I'll find out at last, and discover how I feel
   Things have changed
   Rearranged
I'm going against the flow on a busy one-way street
I can't stop to smile at the faces that I meet
Cross that intersection, just a few hundred yards to go
My eyes light on your features, and now I know
   Things have changed
   Rearranged
   What's the game?
   Nothing is the same

XX - Meal Ticket
(instrumental)

XXI - On My Way

Walking down the final road to your door
I realize just what you mean to me
As I run down the final road to you
To you. . .
   I'm on my way to you, I'm on my way
   I've been waiting impatiently for this day to come
   I can't find the proper words to say
   I'm on my way to you, I'm on my way
It's finally time, it's happening
We just waited far too long
I've got you in my sights tonight
You're right where you belong
   I'm on my way to you, I'm on my way
   The things that I planned out begin to play in my mind
   I can't find the proper words to say
   I'm on my way to you, I'm on my way
Now. . . I've arrived
And we're up against the wall
You. . . have me now
Lined up just behind the eight ball
