Array ( [sid] => 29196 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => How long must I search [time] => 2003-12-12 00:06:58 [hometext] => [bodytext] => How long must I search
To find what I seek?
The road takes it’ toll
And my spirit grows weak.

A glimpse of a shadow
Taunts my being and mind
Pursued by a fool
Who sees but still blind

If I peer through plate glass
I see nothing at all
If I’m looking too hard
I view life through a straw.

If I’m racing to catch her,
I will soon learn
She’s around every corner
I’ve sped by and can’t turn

So I need to relax
To let life take its course
Then I’ll ride toward the sunset
And marry my horse.

How long must I search
To find what I seek?
The road takes it’ toll
And my spirit grows weak.

So I need to relax
To let life take its course
Then I’ll ride toward the sunset
And marry my horse.

Hahahahaha! pretty unexpected ending, making it a not-so-trite piece. Thanks, mate.
