A GOLDEN TURN
By Dan Blakeslee
05/24/12

Before this hair of mine turns from gold to silver,
Lead me through the mines to the land of the fruited vines.

Let me be lifted from my struggling.
I don't wish to be where the “have it easy” meet.
I just want to reach the middle road a while,
So I can stretch these feet.

The palms of my hands are worn from the battlefield.
The mystic that I seek I hope she can navigate invisible lines.

Let me be lifted from my struggling.
I don't wish to be where the “have it easy” meet.
I just want to reach the middle road a while,
So I can stretch these feet.

I can hear across the sea the sound of London calling me.
Lord let me cross some borders instead of crossing wires and working in the mines.

Now is my time to live a little.
Now is my time for living right?
Now is my time to live a little.
Now is my time for living. Right!
