On a Winding Road

Far, far out

on a winding road

comes a woman walking

with a heavy load

 

With a heavy heart

and a heavy tread

she walks the road

where it has led

 

She’s all alone

but she’s not afraid

she walks in sun

and rests in shade

 

The road breathes dust

and crawls through mud

underneath her feet

and through her blood

 

And you think she suffers

‘til she hits her stride

and then you see

that the road’s inside.
