How 'bout that blue, blue sky
Bluer than the deep blue sea
How 'bout two good legs
To take you where you wanna go

How 'bout that storm clearin' out
Leavin' that rainbow behind
Any minor miracle can put you in my mind

Cars rust, stars grow cold and die...
Machines break, and humans cease to try...
Mountains erode and buildings collapse.
And I fall prey to the many traps all around me
They confound me
Cerebral world, triumph of the will
I must fight for plus signs, overcome the kill...
Cerebral world, village of the mind.

I went to Switzerland and dropped a few names
Said I knew some people at the top
Nice little singer took me up in the mountains
Got her started and she just wouldn't stop

I saw my hero in people magazine
Had a new liver and a walking cane
Last time I saw him he said I was trying too hard

When I had my wheels in motion
Never did you think of me
Fine thing, fine state of affairs...
If I had my mind in motion
Never would I think of you
'Cause it's my fate, fine state of affairs
No one cares, no, no

Couldn't be a fancy dancing girl and it couldn't be an "also-ran"
Couldn't be my mother cryin' softly after hearing from my old man
Couldn't be the guitar player wailin' even though I really liked the band
Had to be you
Had to be you

Couldn't be the nights with the drinkin' crowd when it was too late to be too young
Couldn't be the nights with the early flights when every mornin' meant time to run

I used to sit and wish the hours away
And then I'd find it was morning,
I used to sit and be so idle with time
But that was only my warming,
Who was to say my heart was wrong?
Needed just a little more time,
Who was to say that we'd belong?
You saw me looking at you,

Heavenly blue shade fallin' from a star
Is there no reason?
Heavenly blue eye glistening with a tear
Was it displeasin'?
Or was it just in season?
'Cause there was never anything to return to
No reason there for hangin' around
Nothin' you wer doin' could help me put both my feet back down on the ground

I'd love to talk but I'm running awfully late
I'd love to talk but I can't communicate
I'd love to talk but maybe we could meet another time...

I'd like to chat but I'm unning out of time
I'd like to chat but eloquence is not mine
I'd love to chat but maybe we could meet another day...

You read it in the bible
You saw it in a storybook
Remember from the kindergarten
You had it in your first crush
You had it with your lost love

You had it when your heart broke
You saw it in a baby's smile

Film festival is out of the question
Junior won't behave
"Adults only"... it was merely a suggestion
Junior won't behave
Say goodbye to the midnight creep
Say goodbye to fantastic sleep
Junior won't behave... Junior won't behave

One day soon we'll understand
Before we've gone too far
One day soon we're meant to see
Exactly who we are
One day soon we'll understand
When the story's told
One day soon we're bound to know
It will all unfold

Running out of steam now
Don't have the energy I once could have bragged of
Running out of friendships
It seems that the years brings a house so divided
Running out of contacts
Is this what they mean when they talk about being lonely
Running out of answers
I made my own bed but I don't understand it

I can feel the powers at play
I feel fear and I back away
From what they send me, from what they send me
Powers that thrive and powers so real
Some arcane and some genteel

They make me humble
They're here to rumble

Caution to the wind and both feet first
Not like someone who's been down
Lovely lines but not rehearsed
Someone else sends 'em around

Funny what a smile can do
Funny what a touch can get you through
I found me someone to lean on

It's too late to learn
Never knew much about lovin'
I spent alot of days and nights
Runnin' around alone
Always on my own
And all the memory starts to burn
Lookin' all around the ashes
Pickin' up broken pieces ev'rywhere

One cloudless morning was it day or night
The sun and the moon were bright
Take one away
Two holy sisters in the desert dry
From the weight the old mule will die
Take one away
Oh mama I think it's time you knew
The day I first came to you

I heard the stories 'bout the one in the hills,
I read the papers where they thought it was pills,
I've seen the future and the future isn't what I believed...
I've seen the one that had the money to burn,
I've seen him waitin' for his line and his turn
And it's all too plain and simple and real.

The rock's steady we know,

Timeless love is livin' on
Here in my heart baby
And here in my song

I miss your laugh
And I miss your smiles
I hope you hear this
Across the miles
