The Lonely Trail

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
The lonely trail will never know
What it feels like to have weeds grow
Upon it now an endless way
To go through life with tears that stay.

The trail that once was narrow and
A place you'd think would not expand,
And yet, it's now a crowed trail
Because relationships can fail.
