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
