Reborn from Australian Lady by WAYNE HALFPENNY

Reborn
-----------
I woke up this morning with the sunshine tugging at my sleeve
“Say, get on up there boy, don’t you know
It’s time for you to leave”
It’s time for me to leave

Head out past the rows of corn flattened in the fields
Are they aliens who decide
when it’s time for them to yield?
When it’s time for you to yield

Rising,
Rising,
Rising on the dawn
Riding,
Riding,
Ride to be reborn

Time to hit the road those signs full of bullet holes
Where the dirt runs into tarmac
Highway’s full of empty souls
Time to empty out my soul

She was wearing black and a cold dark widows face
Could have been in wintertime or any other place
Tried to crawl back in that space

Rising,
Rising,
Rising on the dawn
Riding,
Riding,
Ride to be reborn

He was still in the picture
Lying face down on her shelf
I stooped down low and kissed her
She asked about my health
And she just couldn’t see
Just wouldn’t see
That cheap home sweet home
embroidery
Once belonged to her and me
 
And then I took advantage of the loss that she laid out
Her life a hand of cards that were finally all played out
She tried so hard to do without

She stood at the front door and begged me not to leave
Now she’s twisting at my heart strings and tugging at my sleeve
All those things you can’t believe

Rising,
Rising,
Rising on the dawn
Riding,
Riding,
Ride to be reborn
