Thirty Years

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime

That left your girl 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

All the things you planned

Just sand castles washed away on tidal waves of tears

The fears overpowering

Your complex dreams just slither down

Drowning in rocky pools

Or smashed and dashed on peril's course

Divorcing prematurely thoughts of lasting love

In your life

Sometime when you've time to spare

Dreaming of missed opportunities

Spare a tear and douse your bridge (Burning)

Thirty years and on the ledge (Learning)

All the things you planned – fading

Thirty years in bed – waiting

All the things you planned – fading

Thirty years in bed – waiting

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime

That left your girl 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
