Haunt Me

The smell of red-earth dust
Hanging in the heat
Has stayed here in my mind
Across the miles
You asked me along a dirt road
What we could be
I sighed and said,
Maybe someday we?ll know

So, haunt me please
Across the miles, numbers of acres
Leagues, countries, and crude
Continents between us
Hunt me now,
Support us with the columns
Of what should have been

Tier me with poetry
And sheltered words
Lay me down and watch me through this night
?Cause I?m going home tomorrow
Where it doesn?t hurt
To watch the sun fade right out of her sky

So, haunt me please
Across the miles, numbers of acres
Leagues, countries, and crude
Continents between us
Haunt me now,
Support us with the columns
Of what should have been

I could stay here forever with you
But we?re both pulled back to where we belong
So hold me forever wrapped up in the steam
Of these few days when you and I were something

So, haunt me please
Across the miles, numbers of acres
Leagues, countries, and crude
Continents between us
Haunt me now,
Support us with the columns
Of what should have been

You asked me along a road what we could be
I sighed and said,
Maybe someday we?ll know
