Robin Cross - Intro: The Shams of Optimism lyrics

An hour away from home The lights come on Standing at the side of the road I am in awe Amongst the snow and trees The freezing cold I thrive on each sorrowful note For the moment, all is still A tranquil pace The ease of being stranded In this compa**ionate place Amongst the snow and trees The air is cold and clean And for the moment, I am at peace Being able to enjoy a disaster Is a sham of being so optimistic Now that the thrill has worn off And the adventure has lost it's charm I just want to go home Still waiting at the side of the road The hours have pa**ed, since I last moved Head down, eyes closed Into a suspended sleep I fall Then in sequence, from far to near Light reflects off of objects before... A sun, of the darkest blues Rises from the hills behind...
