stand and deliver—mile markers
the road’s rolling out
in front of me again
showing me the exit
say something quick
and make it stick
I’ll soon be gone
I’ll set a candle at my back
to light the path I’ve traveled
I’ll burn my skin with the heat of it
with still no movement ahead
I set my sight upon the distance
look now into my eyes
like you’d once done
smile and bring the tears
before I’m gone
show me the fragile spring flower we’ve sown
once more before the wings of love have flown
