Pictures

I'm out here gently driftin'

We get so lost in the past

Lettin' go of the future

Knowin' yesterday won't last

So I'll cut the cable

The time is now, we've made it safe so far

Escape into the light of a moon and the shootin' stars

To where you are

The clock hands stall their tickin'

Maybe the universe is numb

Venus shinin' clear and pleasant

Among the mother's many suns

So I'll make up stories

To put the darkness in disguise

Escape into the light of the moon and the shootin' stars

To where you are

So I'll paint a picture

Watch the colors as they slowly dry

Escape into the light of the moon and the shootin' stars

To where you are
