Thirty Years

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime
Then left to go
Like shadows from the sun
Run into traces
Of faces you thought you saw
But never seemed to mean much more
Echoes of a day gone by
Someone else would 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
Or smashed and dashed
On peril's course
Forcing prematurely thoughts
Of lasting love
In your life

Sometime we need time to spare
Feeling of missed opportunity
Spare a tear and douse your bridge
Thirty years and on the ledge
(Burning)

All the things you planned
(Baby)
Thirty years in bed
(Baby)

All the things you planned
(Baby)
Thirty years in bed
(Baby)

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime
Then left to go
Like shadows from the sun
Run into traces
Of faces you thought you saw
But never seemed to mean much more
Than echoes of a day gone by
When someone else would have to try
To light the stars
In your sky

Your dark sky
