Longing

There's a solace in the stillness Bathing in the amber wash of the fading sun And the calm dewy coolness Collecting in shadows casting in the East If I could only stay here If the stillness could last I'm always chasing the past There's an ocean in the sky I think I'll sleep outside tonight Sheltered beneath a canopy of galaxies Memories like sirens They're calling, haunting Never satisfied in the present I'm longing Nostalgia is a river The more I drink, the more I'm dry Oh how I long to be satisfied I'm chasing the dragon In between a blur of pines In a blur of highway lines I'm summoning the Spirit Driving alone on Highway 61 I think I held It then With your feet on the dash Singing songs that we both knew Oh it's all I want to do Memories like sirens They're calling, haunting Never satisfied in the present I'm longing It's so hard to get drunk On the lower reaches of Joy Oh what it would be like To drink from the Spring that satisfies Satisfied
