Odyssey

Odyssey

Won’t you step inside my car
Let me take you for a drive
Anywhere you want to go
Just sit back enjoy the ride
Only one thing you should know
There’ll be a certain sacrifice

Wander down a winding road
Leave your heartache back in town
See for everything you’ve lost
Something’s waiting to be found
Love can be an Albatross
If you let it weigh you down

I’ve been yearning to make that journey
From the moment I first met myself
Gonna leave behind the things that had me blind
Stack the past upon the shelf

Every Siren has a song
Every heart an Odyssey
Every sailor sets the stars
Every river runs to sea
Every lover counts his scars
Every driver holds the key

Underneath a harvest moon
Or drowning in the pouring rain
There’s a marker every mile
Every mile another name
Some you hold a little while
Some you never meet again

I’ve been yearning to make that journey
From the moment I first met myself
Gonna leave behind the things that had me blind
Stack the past upon the shelf


Every passion has a price
We never pass this way again
All the love we thought we owned
Scattered leaves before the wind
Straight ahead the great unknown
In the trunk the could have beens

Every passion has a price
We never pass this way again
All the love we thought we owned
Scattered leaves before the wind
Straight ahead the great unknown
In the trunk the could have beens
Hit the gas and we’ll be gone
Let the Odyssey begin.
