Down at Ridley Park Lyrics by Clark’s Secret Identity

The Promise of a Wonderful Future

2016

[Intro spoken word]
Is this tape recorder on?
Now that I'm here at last
It sounds better than on paper
Well I've got some things to say
Let's get this out of the way
Before I choose my fate
[Verse 1]
She promised me my twenty-third Psalm
Like the lamb so easily taken
Well here I am by these still waters
So young and stupid, could this be the end
Of a childhood and visions of freedom
Is no one else to blame?
Down at the creekside I’m holding my breath
Should I carry on burdened or face off with death
The earth at my feet and the heavens above
They both await my advance
[Verse 2]
Tempt me, please, just as she tempted me
How did it come down to this?
The wait is long enough to drive you to madness
Cause this game is a two-way street now
And I’m not about to make room for more
But of course it’s what you wanted
And nobody bothered to ask what was wrong
Even after the judgement that tarried so long
The world doesn’t need another failure of men
You obviously don’t need me now
[Verse 3]
So should I take this irreversible chance
After how I got myself into this whole circumstance
And if she’ll drag me along and act like everything’s okay
They won’t make a prisoner out of me
[Verse 4]
Well the artists are probably dying for a chance
To put this to song, take advantage of my circumstance
Exploit the one who bowed out and let his future go
Cause the only truth we know comes so easy
[Finale]
Well I’ve had these things to say
Now let the water take me away
[Outro spoken word]
Hello, tape recorder, it’s me again
Think I’ve changed my mind, allow me to explain
Right before the fall, suddenly I got the call
And the doctor’s voice I could barely hear
Labor was lost, and the child is gone
Lost her damn mind, and was put in a home
And as sad as it may be, I wasn’t ready at all
But now freedom awaits, surviving the fall
So maybe I’ll walk away, save you for another rainy day
