in a big country dreams stay with you ( rock n' roll poem 3 )
by omegapaf

" i'm gonna find it. i'm gonna prove it. show the whole damn world how to use it....when i prove it....i know that some damn fool is gonna lose it " - river of hope - stuart adamson.

a poem for my lifelong friend paul gallagher...who's nearly as drink addled and crazy as me......nearly.

in a big country, on a lost patrol. we found what was lost...that they didn't have to do this
we are not dust. we are not stone. we are the seer's bliss

in a steeltown with a heart like hell
stuart adamson always had a tale to tell
even when the light in the window has burnt out it's fuse
music was all we could choose or use

if i die. like sons of gods in a combat zone
lay me where the rose is sown.

" we only write our names in sand " - stuart adamson.
