Recompense

from California Bound by Michael Mazochi

lyrics

3000 miles from the home that I once knew
And I’m feelin like the railroad man
Who ain’t seen his family for many a lonesome day
But somehow I know I’ve just begun

The canyons I hear in the coldest hours of night
But cold ain’t so cold in the west
And the ghost of the rain blows a hard and dusty wind
‘Cross thirsty fields to meet me on the stone

------

Oh I feel the compass of age
And I see the things I can’t believe
And I wont say I’m alone here, but I’m wishin for my home
Someplace back east through the fallen snow

-----

The mallet I have pounded on roads I’ve walked along
Grows weary with the sentiments of loss
And the words that I have found, have begun to turn around
To leave me to sit in wild wonder

-----

Oh I feel the compass of age
And I see the things I can’t believe
And I wont say I’m alone here, but I’m wishin for my home
Someplace back east through the fallen snow

-----

Some place in the distance a lone dog is cryin’ out
And it echoes through my ears to chain my mind
To days that I have spent in a mournful recompense
Blind to all the time that I was wasting

-----

Oh I feel the compass of age
And I see the things I can’t believe
And I wont say I’m alone here, but I’m wishin for my home
Someplace back east through the fallen snow
