The Forty Minute Ride

Tears rolled down and hands trembled

Needless to say that the heart did weep

I knew not where I was, nor would I care

When I knew, I saw it was my Forty Minute Ride

One last glance at the closing window

One last smile, to do with for a while now

One good bye, with a heavy sigh

I remember, and cry on my Forty Minute Ride

It wouldn't be like this forever

It cannot stand the might of changing times

It has not the power to keep us apart

It would be like it was before; my Forty Minute Ride

Eerie honks don't scare me no more

Sudden brakes are no longer vile

Darkness doesn’t sound like an accident calling

Too much light for my Forty Minute Ride

Sweet was the Forty Minute Ride for months before

Tonight it seemed like an endless void

But something tells me this won’t last long,

Like didn’t last any forty minutes, longer than that!
