Lyrics:

The storms they called for
all day finally came,
moments after I left your farm,
backing down that dirt lane.
The whole sky lit up
and rivers of rain
streamed from the car
as I pulled away.
Out on the highway
I'm picking up speed,
driving like there's
something sad pursuing me.
A phone call, a letter,
words that we speak:
it just takes a minute
to shatter a dream.
In any direction
there'll be something to lose,
but a warm south wind
might help heal these blues.
I'll stay on this highway,
going away from you,
till I find a place
where I can start anew.

You said all you needed
was a little time,
and then we might give it
another try.
But you were just softening
the truth with a lie;
it's over, I know it,
it was there in your eyes.
Fierce, but brief,
the storm subsides,
and an orange sunset
fills the sky.
I cross over a bridge
and below a train rumbles by,
heading east, leaving
the empty tracks behind.
In any direction
there'll be something to lose,
but a warm south wind
might help heal these blues.
I'll stay on this highway,
going away from you,
till I find a place
where I can start anew.

I love the clean sound of the guitars you choose...you get a nice tone. Every time I hear your soothing voice, it puts me in such a pleasant state of mind...I enjoy your material so much...you always sing like you mean the words. That, to me, is so important.

I like how you tell a story with your lyrics. Sad songs make people feel your pain and we can all relate. We've all experienced those kind of emotions.

Very sweet sounding voice and guitar playing. Dreamy effect. :)
