Stephen Stills - Thoroughfare Gap lyrics



(3:33)

by Stephen Stills

Sometimes I Consider My Pace

I'm Reminded Of A Train Gathering Speed

For The Climb To The Pass

In Whose Shadow It Already Lies

A Small Metal Dragon Approaching

The Ever-Present Ascending Rise

To The Seventh Mountain

Reeling And Snaking And Leaping

It Seems Like It Wants To Come Loose

From Its Path Cast In Iron

But She Can't Slow Down Now

As The Earth Has Presented

A New Crest To Reach

Without Barely A Rest

From The Last One

And You Wonder Just What Lies Beyond

Though You've Been There Before

And Forget About The Effort And The Strain

Always Ascending

Each Yard Adds A Mile

To The Never-ending Pull

Of The Steepening Grade

That's Before You

A Valley, A Forest, A Desert, A Stream

With An Oversized Bridge

For The Trickle There Beneath

You Remember The Torrent

It Turned To Last Spring

From The Snows Melting Fast

And The River It Became

In The Summer

Perhaps It Is Ruined

From A Fire That Has Scorched It

So Badly That Nothing

Will Grow Without Rain

To Wash Away The Blackened Soil

Now Useless Till Called Upon Again

In A Future As Twisted And Far Away

As The Next Range Of Mountains

So Take It As Far As You See

And Beyond

With Eyes You Don't Use Enough

Gather Up Strength

As Thoroughfare Gap

Will Await You Forever

You're Seeking To Get There

For Even Before

It's No Matter

No Distance

It's The Ride
