{"product_id":"book-d97u","title":"Leaving Town","description":"A collection of poems inspired by a time of uncertainty, purpose, youth and question.\u003cbr\u003eThese poems were mostly written in 1989 while living in Oxford. A very small number of them were done in 1990, just as I moved to London. I had been through a difficult couple of years, but life was starting to look up again. I was on the dole, waiting to become a rock star. London seemed like the right choice, and I was done trying to make Oxford work out for me.\u003cbr\u003eHazy future\u003cbr\u003eI'm not sure that I know anymore,\u003cbr\u003ejust what’s fair, what's right at all.\u003cbr\u003eThere's a long way to go on this open road,\u003cbr\u003eat the mercy of all the world may throw.\u003cbr\u003eI'm not sure that I feel anymore.\u003cbr\u003eWhen my home is gone in misty stories,\u003cbr\u003emy body is broken by men I don't know.\u003cbr\u003eSometimes I feel like a puppet, in a loser’s show.\u003cbr\u003eI'm not sure of what I do anymore,\u003cbr\u003ethough I've been avoiding it for so long.\u003cbr\u003eThe reason’s lost, why I go on.\u003cbr\u003eCan I build it back, when I keep getting it wrong?\u003cbr\u003eHazy future, yeah, it looks like another misty dawn.\u003cbr\u003eI salute you - all those who carry on.\u003cbr\u003eWhen the bed you lie on, isn't your own,\u003cbr\u003eand the life you live is no longer normal.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49438786552112,"sku":"BDd97u","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/171498-d97u-Square.jpg?v=1736483540","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-d97u","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
