Bloom

Well, I hit the road before daylight

And I caught the old naked night

With the moon in bloom

And every star in sight

And the music bled to washed-out strums

As I dreamed about the things to come

With the sky ablaze

And shadows on the run

And I never would have thought

I would end up here

I thought that there was nothing left to see

And I never would have thought

It would take so long

Just to learn how to be free

Well, the winter sun, it came up slow

And the light was pale and settled low

As the mist grew on

The restless common road

And I never would have thought

I would end up here

I thought that there was nothing left for me

And I never would have thought

It would take so long

Just to learn how to be free

Well, I used to think that we were doomed

All the good it came and left too soon

But now I see in fact

We've just begun to bloom
