lyrics

This old world keeps on turning
And I’m part of it for a while
The misfit in me keeps on yearning
And I face the sky like a child.

I don’t know where the winds do blow
But I’m a witness to the dying green
I don’t know where the seasons go
But they’re tearing up my faded jeans.

My old man he’s aging
And his spirits carrying a knife
He’s cutting out all the pages in
The Bible of Stable Life

I sense him feelin’ lighter and free
Uplifted by a winged dream
He’s never met me through my poetry
But he’s soaring through the solar beams.

No one knows how true love is born
But it cushions the fortunate fall.
A silent wish to feel forsaken no more
unveiled in a shopping mall.

See them teens in the music shop scene
Strumming and making a song
Hear them sing about their burning dreams
Descendants of romantic dawn.

This old world keeps on turning
And I’m part of it for a while
The misfit in me keeps on yearning
And I face the sky like a child.
