The other night I sat down to take a good look at the old heart of mine That old cedarwood - swing on my backpoarch gave me comfort.- and so did the warm red wine I was trying to heal some of the scratches and wounds deep my soul when I found me talking to the good Lord above, I was fighting feelings that I `ve seldom known, crying tears for the dear ones , that I lost along the road Well, I decided to switch on that big screen , to watch the evening news trying to wipe all those weary thoughts off my mind But somehow it seemed, I was only able to receive one channel. They were showing a re-run of a classic Disney movie about a lonely ol` bear roaming the Mountains. Well, I opened up another bottle of that fine red wine and kept on watching the picture There was a huge old grizzly bear fighting a snow storm, and the camera`s focus was on the bear`s mighty head , I looked into desperate and lonely eyes and I wondered , was I turning in such a beast ? Then another close up, and suddenly I felt the bear was talking to me, To me the beast looked human for a while, was I lookin` into a mirror ? For a moment , I could have sworn, I heard him say: "Come with me, follow my tracks into the mountains, You lived it all ! Are you happy, are you satisfied ? The Years passed by and you became a loner, just another stranger in a lonely world, Its about to end it now, come on , let s go and find us a place to die in some snow covered cavern" That`s when I heard another voice talking to me, seemed it came from a corner of a hospital room, soft and clear : ? Welcome back John, you`ve been gone for almost a week now, John , ... here `a young lady to see you , I did `nt know you had a grandson, John......?
