"Crossing the Gap"

Hello morning star, you're my old friend.
You are days beginning, (to me you attend)???
I am racing dawn but ill never win
Road signs mark the time till i see you again

There are things that ive changed, but whats been done is done.
poked one to many theads but now ive come unspun
I sleep and i dream lie in some some strange bed.
i almost lost the story but i know it never ends
it never ends...

Im Crossing the Gap on my way home.
Above my head, just sky and stone.
Across the river from the Jersey side,
At the End of a long, long ride.

Im begging the sun for just a bit more time.
moonlight its alright (to set down this line)????
so come by morning star daylight is come again
i've crossed 100 rivers there's one more ahead, its just ahead.

Im Crossing the Gap on my way home.
Above my head, just sky and stone.
Across the river from the Jersey side,
At the End of a long, long ride.
