A Journey - Kickit's Challenge

A thousand steps
Walking a crooked fence
A journey back in time
Was so young, can't believe
So much older now

A thousand steps
Walking a crooked fence
She was so young and pretty
Said our vows in a country church
Our love will last forever

A thousand steps
Walking a crooked fence
Older grew and children had
Apart we slowly drifted
Living life is what happened to us

A thousand steps
Walking a crooked fence
Now all I feel is sorrow
Looking back I see mistakes
Too late for any changes

A thousand steps
Walking a crooked fence
The future ahead stretches
Weary I am of this life
There's a thousand more steps to end it
