Are You Saying That You Will Follow Through?

I couldn't secure the thought
Long enough to pour the cast
The captain is trying to speak to me
This must be home, at last
In the end, all you remember
Is facts

Sundown. Smoke
Was hanging in the sky
She took a sip of rye
Blocked the light from her eyes
Looked off towards Cherai
To hide the tear she cried

Are you
Saying that you
Will follow through?
Say it again, so I know it's true

Sitting on a guard rail
She looked into the soul
Of a passing driver
Put her hand up and smiled
"Any direction's fine," she said
As he continued by

Are you
Saying that you
Will follow through?
Say it again, so I know it's true

Your lovers are all waiting
For you to come around
To do a circle round the globe
To their distant, tiny towns
And you're thinking you'll just stay here
Or move along as you please

Are you
Saying that you
Will follow through?
Say it again, so I know it's true

Yes, men and women on the road
Temporarily will come
And you may stay in some towns
A little longer than some
Wherever there's a space for you
To beat your drum

Are you
Saying that you
Will follow through?
Say it again, so I know it's true

One traveling boy, out of luck, told me how
He got scammed. He said keep your
Head and stumble through. There's nothing
Wrong or right to do. For every
Hundred or two, you can
Find one who's true

The night bird on the light post
And the flowers on the trail
And the mice running down the track
And the dawn that's starting to crack
And the trees that are out here swaying
And you

Are you
Saying that you
Will follow through?
Say it again, so I know it's true
