Lyrics
Well they told you when you were younger
that you had wings
and your grip seemed firm on
the nature of things
Well the distance tells me
what I did not say
and the words when we were near seemed just so far away
If there's a road I led him down
I was mistaken with the stars
because I've circled back around
Seems the early lessons don't cut it for us
and we look save for each other for something to trust
Well the cares of life came descending on him
and you see in the ones you love a touch of chagrin
I wish the rain would wash away the tracks I've laid behind me
ain't it rough just being free?
Hey, now, I believe that I can see
this lonliness is killing me
Say "Hey" to Blane
Spent a youth in excess kept under control
but inside I'm running with nowhere to go
Like the Rocket Man; it's cold as hell
just a jeremiad and no story to tell
I'm far away and my mind strays
escape the tomb of destiny
now what to do? who's teaching who?
don't ask me because I don't know
Well they told you when you were younger that you had wings
and your grip seemed firm on the nature of things
Wish I could say I've got it down
that things are great and all is well
don't get stuck in your own hell.
Say "Hey" to Blane.
