Lyric 2 Poem - Flash’s Song Lyrics

My Sister-in-law (Flash) challenged me a long time ago to write a poem made up of lyrics from 17 songs she chose. That means country western music, which generally makes my ears bleed!So, of course I did the only thing I could - I promptly lost the word doc. with the lyrics and my notes. I recently ran across it though, purely by accident, so inspite of great personal risk, I finally completed the challenge. The following poem is the result.

My story’s infinite
I have seen the ocean
I have seen the sky
and the birds, the trees, the falling snow -
no they were not made for me.

Sure as night will follow day
I’m certain that I am alone
(And) afraid of being left
I keep crawling back to you

We have crossed the Rubicon
let’s see how long
we forget
how the game goes
and I lay you to rest
just
to feel the give
and take
trying to hold on
I keep crawling back to you

It’s a hard road
creating want by
holding back
so my darling just
let it go by
you’re scared of what you’ll lose
or what you might gain
I ‘m afraid of crossing lines,
I’m afraid of flying blind
(so) I keep crawling back to you

I should have known better…
but now here I am
the world’s gotten colder
and love is not your stranger
it shattered slowly
it’s broken through-
so that’s today’s memory lane
with all the pathos and pain
(and) I love you more than I should
so I keep crawling back to you

The bad news is I never found the original doc. with all the titles and artists, so I can't properly give credit...unless Flash saved it and can help with that.
