Special
There’s something kinda special, Resting in a glen Holding a novel Reading now and again There’s something kinda special, Reading in a glen Resting a weary mind Living in pages, turned Again and again There’s something more special, Than resting in a glen Reading a stories lines It’s hearing a hidden train’s engine Roar and roar and roar Saying come… Read more →
