Well he broke through the barrier and rode down the hill   A sound like thunder then everything stood still   Back home the widow wondered where he'd gone      In the evening the meadow sings without care   His eyes staring blankly up into the air   The cars far above him kept rolling along      Off you go into the summer   Off you go to the fall   You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder   Suddenly you stop feeling anything at all      Speed and alcohol the papers equated   For the record good judgement was not demonstrated   Rest assured this one was not drug related      Back home the young widow weeps and sighs   Explains to her kids how their daddy died   She closes the door to the room where he used to try      Off you go into the summer   Off you go to the fall   You got tossed between the wicked and the wonder   And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all      Well we all have occasion to slip on the path   Some get to pay for the aftermath   Some won't get another chance   to realize life has an ending      Well the widow moves on as the years progress   Starts her life over but never forgets   Down in the meadow there's darkness descending      Off you go into the summer   Off you go to the fall   You get tossed between the wicked and the wonder   And suddenly you stop feeling anything at all
