lyrics

Absence on the Home Stretch
C. McQuate

the dusty back roads
where we were once spared
they no longer retain
the light laughter of yesterday

what of the photos
or the written works?
a cord severed in two
the mere thought threatens to unglue

just never planned it like this
could have never accounted for this…

whatever happened
to your stated plans?
our naïve confidence,
as though sight stretched
beyond that fence

fleeting are the days laid before
and numbered are our steps
here in the ebb and flow,
the unknown
there's an absence on the homestretch
the homestretch…

late hour phone talks
from the school of law
recollecting close call
in back-woods Mississinewa

fleeting are the days laid before
and numbered are our steps
here in the ebb and flow,
the unknown
there's an absence on the homestretch
the homestretch…

oh to have
gone and made that call
as though
it would have made, made all
of the difference
and so instead
I must live with it

the hours checked off
to reach the days
then the months and the years
for this healing to take its shape

how to explain this persistent ache?
just resume and reset
in a world built upon movement

fleeting are the days laid before
and numbered are our steps
here in the ebb and flow,
the unknown
there's an absence on the homestretch
the homestretch…

keeping eyes fixed on this race
steady on the course
with every step it resonates
there's an absence on the homestretch
the homestretch
the homestretch…
