Thirty Years
by
U.K.
(Eddie Jobson-John Wetton-Allan Holdsworth-Bill Bruford)
Chasing rainbows for a lifetime
left ago
Shadows from the sun,
Running traces
Of faces you thought you saw
But never seemed to mean much more
than echoes of a day gone by,
someone else will have to try
To light the stars
......In your sky.
All the things you planned
Just sand castles washed away
On tidal waves of tears,
fears overpowering
Your complex dreams just slither down
drowning in rocky pools,
are smashed and dashed
On peril's course, divorcing prematurely
thoughts
Of lasting love
......In your life.
Sometimes we need time to spare
Feeling of missed opportunity
Spare a tear and douse your bridge...
burning
30 years and on the ledge....
learning
All the things you planned
fading
30 years and then
waiting.
All the things you planned
fading
30 years and then
waiting.
Chasing rainbows for a lifetime you left ago
like shadows from the sun
running traces
of faces you thought you saw
but never seemed to be much more
than echoes of a day gone by,
someone else will have to try
to light the stars...
in your sky
your dark sky!
