Highway 74 Valentine (for Dee)

I guess you’ll know when you get there
But it won’t look anything like
The place you just left behind
 
A hair-raising roller-coaster ride
Over a browned mountain
Through woods ready for fire
 
Near the summit I saw a beggar
With the fallen face of an angel
Whose sign said Give it up/for love 
 
I wanted to stop and chat
But the snarling dog he barely restrained
Entirely changed my mind
 
Down I sped to a pearly lake
Pale little houses sprinkled round
So foggy and pretty it all looked fake
