Last night, I had a dream

The wheel fell off of the van while we were driving

We didn’t know it until we stopped, and we were stranded

Yesterday, a busted spoke, the first ride of the season

The shop wasn’t open, so I locked my bike up:

Hobbled, lonely and abandoned

I guess you never really know how fragile something is until it breaks

And you have to fix it or walk away..

You learn not to take anything for granted

Anything at face

Anything as given or safe

Last year, a last word

A line that separates two eras

Between the shore where we were born

And a ship that has sailed and landed

Yesterday, she let us know

Her shoulders slumped and shaking under

A weight that nobody should bear alone

Fitful and candid

I guess you never really know how fragile something is until it breaks

And you have to fix it or walk away..

You learn not to take anything for granted

Anything at face

Anything as given or safe

I guess you never really know how fragile something is until it breaks

And you have to fix it or walk away..

You learn not to take anything for granted

Anything at face

Anything as given or safe
