Des Moines (Bonus Track)

(album: Prologue - 2011)

The road does funny things inside a man
To hurt in ways I just don't understand
My heart can see the road that leads back home
I'm afraid that I can't get there anymore

I wish that you could see into my eyes
To see what makes me race and makes me cry
I have faith inside this broken tethered heart
Whatever role I play is the right part

The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast
A love you never meant to let slip past
Minneapolis could take me home
But home ain't where I'm headed for

My sorrow makes a face the way I hurt
A longing-for betrayed by what I'm sure
Are sounds and words that push and pull you still
But hardened by the thought of what you will

Soon I'll find the places that I know
Faced by what should find me on this road
My heart still sees the path that leads back home
But I think she's gone, I think I'm all alone

The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast
A love you never meant to let slip past
Minneapolis could take me home
But home ain't where I'm headed for
