Up Around The Bend

Ten thousand people passing, most don't know Those that see gain memory, from emotions put on show Try to picture what took place, a journey cut so short Move along until another moment took my thoughts A bouquet of daffodils, laid beside the way Silent tree as witness, to someone's final day Water-sodden photo, pinned onto the bark And offerings in plastic serve to give this place it's mark I'm busy driving down to Cartgate, just trying to get from A to B Caught in the melee, that time, on the road can be Never even gave a thought, to how, I'd reach the end Until I saw your rain-soaked face Up around the bend Up around the bend Up around the bend Someone loved by someone, journey's sudden end Different paths collided, meeting at the bend In my head is what I saw, no need to stop or stare Struck by what can happen on the way to who knows where I'm busy driving down to Cartgate, just trying to get from A to B Caught in the melee, that time, on the road can be Never even gave a thought, to how, I'd reach the end Until I saw your rain-soaked face Up around the bend Up around the bend Up around the bend The ritual is frowned on, but the blind eye is turned No judgement here, just a moment, now forever burned On those who held affection for the face out in the rain An unplanned stop for someone who no longer feels the pain I'm busy driving down to Cartgate, just trying to get from A to B Caught in the melee, that time, on the road can be Never even gave a thought, to how, I'd reach the end Until I saw your rain-soaked face Up around the bend Up around the bend Up around the bend
