It Seems Like It Wants To Come Loose

A New Crest To Reach

It Turned To Last Spring

Perhaps It Is Ruined

So Badly That Nothing

Will Grow Without Rain

Now Useless Till Called Upon Again

As The Next Range Of Mountains

So Take It As Far As You See

With Eyes You Don't Use Enough

Gather Up Strength

For Even Before

It's No Matter

No Distance

It's The Ride
