Binghamton Road
They light my way
Bonfires on the horizon, signal lamps of old
Marking my path
The sky glows above me
A thousand sparks on the road
Turns marked in red and white
Bathed in light
I drive on
The road stretches before me
My companions are few
Piercing the darkness
Travellers share my path
for a time
Globes of light pushing back the blackness
We pass in the night
I drive on
The stars glitter above me
Turn overhead
they stare
Watching me from above
Do they care?
I reach out to touch them
They glitter out of reach
I drive on
The hills are dark now
No sparks mark my path
The horizon beckons - black on black
Where are those lighthouses now?
The road winds before me
Clouds roll in overhead
I drive on
alone
