Alleyway

Everyone walks the main street They know it from start to end But off to the side, there's an alleyway Untouched for all of time As you take this journey, you'll see What it means to walk this alley In the night There's no one around to tell your story to So you write in the pages that you keep Floating in the air The moon's not out tonight I have no guiding light Oh, can you tell me where to go These maps, they don't show How to get back home How to get back home With no one around to take the journey with I must learn to enjoy the silence Walking in the night I just want someone to tell my story to 'Cause the pages are running out Can I be heard Concrete pathways are my guide Everyone else, out of sight My senses have been changed I must change my ways The alley is my way of life The alley's where I sleep at night Shadows mask the truth, you see The walls are all that speak to me With no one around to tell the story to I put the chords down in my page To say I don't know how to express The sights I see in this row In the night With no one around to echo to I walk in my own shoes Just this time
