Siddonsburg Road

Driving the wagon down a winding road
I had taken a road I had never seen.
Several more had pressed me forward
So an anxiety in my bones I had gleaned
From their haste, to do their business
But I on an unfamiliar country road
I found myself in a new place, just five
Miles from my home, and everything was new
And every beautiful landscape I had never known.
Five miles off my path, off that winding Siddonsburg Road
I had seen within a whole new world,
One which I had never known.

And then, taken back to familiar streets
My eyes had seen my familiar town
New buildings, new things, new things untold
I had even walked into my home
And saw it was all fresh and new
When I travelled on Siddonsburg Road.
