Alcatraz Lyrics

Steven and I hitch-hiking

Our day off to Hanover

Beat up car with young girl driving

Slow down and pull over

In the rear view mirror

Like co-conspirators we did smile

I did not know that I was running

I saw the sunlight streaming

Down on the landscape

Of my Alcatraz escape

From the sadness 'twas born in my soul

Three years passed, still I was suffering

Spent that March in Charlottesville

Saw the ghost of Thomas Jefferson

Sitting on my window sill

With his thin powdered hair

And his concubine there he did smileGathering Field - Alcatraz - http://motolyrics.com/gathering-field/alcatraz-lyrics.html

I did not know that I was running

I saw the twilight gleaming

Down on the landscape

Of my Alcatraz escape

From the sadness 'twas born in my soul

I went down through the labyrinth

Of my falsified regret

Deep in flight from the light in my soul

Oh what a complicated tapestry I sewed

All that energy I wasted on my fear

All those years spent stumbling down that lonesome road

It's not very clear

How far or how near I have come

I did not know that I was running

I see the sunlight streaming

Down on the landscape....
