Hopes Go Astray

Just write a letter and mail it to yourself

Read it out loud but to no-one else

Pick your pocket, a measure of time

Never leave those memories behind

And you'll sing 'til tomorrow

And the days that will follow

But it's never the same

When you feel you're insane

On the bed where you lay

There's a plan that was made

But it's never the same

When your hopes go astray

Just write a memo and hang it on your wall

A small reminder of why you're here at all

So look around and groove to the sound

Let's see those feet rise up from the ground

And you'll sing 'til tomorrow

And the days that will follow

But it's never the same

When you feel you're insane

On the bed where you lay

There's a plan that was made

But it's never the same

When your hopes go astray

Now the princess washes dishes

She's done more harm than any good

I am the witness of hugs and kisses

Loneliness is never understood

So paint a picture of things that aren't real

Remember shame when it's time to kneel

And don't forget the things that you say

Could all come back to you some other day

And you'll sing 'til tomorrow

And the days that will follow

But it's never the same

When you feel you're insane

On the bed where you lay

There's a plan that was made

But it's never the same

When your hopes go astray
