Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Chasing rainbows for a lifetime then left to go
Shadows from the sun, run into traces
Faces you thought you saw but never seemed to mean much more
Echoes of a day gone by when someone else would have to try
To light the stars
In your sky
[Verse 2]
All the things you planned, just sand castles washed away
On tidal waves of tears, fears overpowering
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
[Verse 3]
Sometime we need time to spare
Feeling of missed opportunity
Spare a tear and douse your bridge
Thirty years and on the ledge
[Verse 4]
All the things you planned (Baby)
Thirty years in bed (Baby)
All the things you planned (Baby)
Thirty years in bed (Baby)
[Verse 5]
Chasing rainbows for a lifetime then left to go
Like shadows from the sun, run into traces
Faces you thought you saw but never seemed to mean much more
Echoes of a day gone by when someone else would have to try
To light the stars
In your sky
Your dark sky
