So, I’ve been away, hiding, healing
From you and your big city territory
Rebuilding a life, a home, a sanctuary
And now I am ready to share my story
I have several stories, of wild crimes
Close encounters of chaos and chance
Of lusty and superficial love
Embraced in twisty, fun, flirty dance
Somber, darkened days behind me
Your heartache no longer my fuel
Clouds parted, lifted and sacrificed
For bright blue, sunny skies of renewal
I’ve been living, dreaming and climbing
Moving mountains and moving west
Paving new paths and making new friends
Reconnecting with myself, alone, a lifelong quest
So, it’s been a while since you’ve seen me
Even longer since you’ve heard my voice
I had to go away and surrender to change
Now rewired, my reckoning is your doing, your choice.
