Somewhere (unfinished)

An old man crept up next to me

He told me, who he used to be

He told me that he used to give

Life to those that want to live

But when I turned to see his face

He had vanished without a trace

I looked around to find a sign

But saw nothing, like I was blind

I closed my eyes and then fell back

And I envisioned a railroad track

It was there, when I saw the man

Waiting with an out-stretched hand

I slowly walked over to where he stood

And then he said, "Don't that feel good?"

The sun was setting and the night was near

It lightly rained, like falling tears

It seemed like we were walking forever

And then we came to a great endeavor

The tracks, now, had led off a cliff

I heard some trees in the windy drift

I looked at the man, but he was gone

I thought, "How am I suppose to go on?"

It was dark now and the wind was harsh

I peered over the cliff to see a smoldering marsh

And to the left I saw some stairs

A foul smell rang through the air...
