Night Catches Me Here
She was afraid
She was terrified of the silence
She didn't rightly belong here
She was afraid
Running to get away from the unearthly landscape
Not prepared
She was afraid
Here is where the map should fold
Like the work of an evil child
She was afraid
Dry and sharp, desolate and dangerous
The road surface tore viciously
She was afraid
It was strange only because I found it so
I came on it in amazement
No trees crashes down
No snow falls
I came on it in amazement
The strange landscape shouted with color
Far from being frightful
I came on it in amazement
Swept clean of clouds and telescopically clear
A land of milk and honey
I came on it in amazement
