lyrics

His feet were movin fast
walking through heavy grass
trying to make it back
to the streets of Bellaire
Back pack heavy with
dreams and wishes
out on the road of dispair

Chorus
So far he's seeing
things just as they are
Oh it's a brave soul
who gives service
in the great unknown

That's when he met Jane
standing by her car
in sheets of rain
she was leaving her dead end job
when the tire had blown
Christmas presents on the seat
and her hair pulled up so very neat
He said I can help, and she said o.k.
He finished up said my name is Ren
she thanked him and said
come sit in
at least until this storm lightens up
they would talk for another hour
about how life can be so sour
Chorus

The more they said
the more their hearts merged
and soon the rain was gone
from the evening air
Then they became so very still
as the stars came out to shine on the hill
That's when they took the long way
into town
Chorus
