now that you've found all that you looked for
no lyrics about running away from it all
no poems about the past or yesterday's falls
content and warm as you map your plan
finally heading toward your promised land
checking off everything on an imaginary list
that I told you once you would need for this
no sonnets about how you and I could never be
about a treasure on the road left under mesquite
a song about a dream that was left diminished
'bout starting more dances then you could finish
yes, you write less, no longer any need
to pen about pain from old scars that bleed
good luck, dear friend, as you make your next move
what stays in the past will be better for you
