Miles and miles
years and years
she has seen them pass
miles of tears
years of blood
flowing red upon the long road
She cradles them
safe in her leather arms
her engine purrs their lullaby
a familiar voice
through the miles
through the years
singing along the long road
She fears for them, her boys,
for she was there
before the miles of tears
before the years of blood
when they knew not the nightmares
they now face upon the long road
She knows not when it will end
she knows not
how many miles are left
how many years
but she shall remain
home and refuge
until all the tears and blood run dry.
