I took a? long hard look
|
At the heroes of my youth.
|
And their antics on the page there on
|
Can no longer sustain me
|
Ever since I was a boy
|
They brought me joy
|
But the shackles of the way I was
|
Can no longer contain me
|
|
It was exciting
|
And enlightening
|
Reverberating through my dreams
|
Goodbye to reality
|
And set a course for wayward schemes.
|
|
Now I can't sing
|
I can't feel
|
I don't know what is real.
|
I was travelling through the past for years
|
Tell me what's my destination
|
Now the past is gone
|
I don't even have a song
|
We've not sung before
|
To a closing door
|
Tell me what's my situation?
|
|
I saw the film,
|
I lived the book
|
I got the haircut
|
That's all it took
|
But now I know it's going to take
|
A little more now I'm awake
|
|
I took along hard look
|
Now I'm waiting for the phone to ring
|
I glance at the inbox
|
Is there any tantalising mail there in
|
There was lust in my restless heart
|
But now I know what true love means
|
Goodbye to reality
|
And set sail for dreamsy
|
