This is an odd break-up song. No commercial potential for this, but it was fun. My friend Faith provided harmony vocal on this for me.

Sweet Release
by Wendy DuMond
(c) 2007

1.
I wasn't sad
At the end of our affair
Cause there were bats in the belfry
And signs in the air
We came together
Like toothpaste and dirt
One of us got gritty
And the other just got hurt

(Chorus 1)

There are lines on the highway
And lines on my face
There's a map on the dashboard
Ghosts in my suitcase
We're past all redeeming
Past the point of peace
But out here on this highway
I'm driving to my sweet release

2.
I know you think
I was cold and mean
That I cast you to the wastelands
When I cut the apron strings
Cause we came together
Like a snake and a Dodo bird
One of us just disappeared
And the other hissed mean words

(Chorus 2)

Out here in my chrome pony
Galloping at full speed
It's not want you wanted
But it is what I need
We're past all redeeming
Past the point of peace
And out here on this highway
I'm driving to my sweet release

3.
I'm not sure
How I feel about you
Cause there was lead in my goblet
And a tack in my shoe
But we came together
Like wine and acid rain
One of us got burned
And the other just got stained

(Chorus 3)

There are tears to be cried
But there's wind in my hair
Rain's pounding from the sky
Smell of freedom everywhere
Cause we're past all redeeming
Past the point of peace
And out here on this highway
I'm driving to my sweet release
