Late one October night, she don't know why Pulled over where the blacktop meets the pines Cold air, pine needles heavy in the dark Headlights caught the tree line, silence held its breath She'd carried it too long, Every word she never said She whispered to the wind, she spoke it to the stones She told it to the trees, let the river carry it down And somewhere past the headlights Began the roadside reckoning She drove off before midnight, never looking back Tail lights fading till the road went black Crows stayed on the wire, river kept its course The trees stood still... maybe they'd heard it all before No prayer was ever spoken, no curse was ever cast She only told the darkness what had happened in the past And somewhere down that highway where the pines lean to the road Something heard her story And decided what was owed She whispered to the wind, she spoke it to the stones She told it to the trees, let the river carry it down Some truths don't stay buried In a roadside reckoning Let the river carry it down... Carry it down... She whispered to the wind, she spoke it to the stones She told it to the trees, let the river carry it down Some truths don't stay buried In a roadside reckoning Let the river carry it down... Carry it down... down... down...
