City Limits

By: Adrienne

One for these days

I'll be found

somewhere outside of this town,

I'll walk away-never

look back,

"City Limits" do just that

& there's nothing left that's making me stay-

& I'm afraid of fading away.

Some body show me a sign

throw me an unspoken line

mercy of a gentle word

Tenderness so seldom heard

& there's nothing else left for me to say-

& I'm afraid of fading away.

maybe you would ask why,

I cannot say,

but I know there's a voice working through me,

oh, sweeping through me

I close my eyes &

I see

somebody I wanna be

Just one look into the mirror

tells me what I most fear

incessantly

time's ticking through my veins

& I'm so afraid of fading away
