Gugny Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 My uncle has a country placeThat no one knows aboutHe says it used to be a farmBefore the Motor LawAnd on Sundays I elude the eyesAnd hop the Turbine FreightTo far outside the WireWhere my white-haired uncle waits Jump to the groundAs the Turbo slows to cross the borderlineRun like the windAs excitement shivers up and down my spine Down in his barnMy uncle preserved for me an old machineFor fifty odd yearsTo keep it as new has been his dearest dream I strip away the old debrisThat hides a shining carA brilliant red BarchettaFrom a better vanished timeI fire up the willing engineResponding with a roarTires spitting gravelI commit my weekly crime WindIn my hairShifting and driftingMechanical musicAdrenaline surge... Well-weathered leatherHot metal and oilThe scented country airSunlight on chromeThe blur of the landscapeEvery nerve aware Suddenly ahead of meAcross the mountainsideA gleaming alloy air carShoots towards me, two lanes wideI spin around with shrieking tiresTo run the deadly raceGo screaming through the valleyAs another joins the chase Drive like the windStraining the limits of machine and manLaughing out loud with fear and hopeI've got a desperate plan At the one-lane bridgeI leave the giants stranded at the riversideRace back to the farmTo dream with my uncle at the fireside RIP, Neil Peart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
