Stray

It rained the whole day he spent at his lover's grave Said his goodbyes to her family and friends And packed his things in a rusted car And rode off in the rain He came upon a church in ruin With an old man dwelling within Who said, "Watch where you stray, my friend" Old man spoke of meanings lost, without name Never shifting from their worn and weathered place Was found in the endless serach for truth behind the tale Beneath the ash and ember lies only one story to tell Watch where you stray, my friend There's a flower that grows in a cave So lovely to see but need not be saved It's beautiful blossom will wither and die If ever this flower leave the darkness for daylight
