I passed through little Whitley t… And stopped where locals could be… When I pulled up, I heard a sound Angel’s voice in Dolby surround It was a sweet, but tearful song

I give you an inch You try for a mile I’m glad I spoke up And still made you smile

Open your heart to love So you might be able To love your open heart

Walked a labyrinth And wrote a poem Then suddenly It all exploded
