Middle Road

from City Garden by Jess Klein

/

lyrics

I marched over a hill
And through a swamp to come to this
Every run and jump thrill
Was followed by a cold wet ditch
Now the only thing that's left to scare me so
Is to keep on breathing
Moving forward while the winds race to and fro

Take it slow
Take it slow
Take it slow
Cause here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Walk the middle road of love
Walk the middle road of love
You don't know what's gonna break
You don't know what's gonna bend
You don't know what it'll take
You don't know what's gonna end
Tonight

Now I'm manning the wheel
And I'm making myself look
I see planets and fields
I see sun and clouds and brooks
And the deepest shade of blue I've ever seen
On a ground so pure I
Can't believe I've thought that paint I knew was green

Take it slow
Take it slow
Take it slow
Cause here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Walk the middle road of love
Walk the middle road of love
You don't know what's gonna break
You don't know what's gonna bend
You don't know what it'll take
You don't know what's gonna end
Tonight

Why do they always want the most
You have to give in this life?
I think the most would be
Relaxing while the wheels took flight

Take it slow
Take it slow
Take it slow
Cause here we go
Here we go
Here we go
Walk the middle road of love
Walk the middle road of love
You don't know what's gonna break
You don't know what's gonna bend
You don't know what it'll take
You don't know what's gonna end
Tonight
