A thousand drifting lights
are burning in my mind,
and I've got moving pictures in my soul,
They're wrapped in silver and dressed in gold.
These scenes of my life I see,
are all locked up, and you're the key
that's gonna make the dark nights seem less cold,
when I think of the days of old,
And I hear your voice again;
sayin' “Here I am my friend-
better hold on cause we're going in again”
(again) and again I try to find the silver lining but I
Keep getting my head caught in the clouds,
oh its these clouds of woe- I've got to go!
The journey's much too hard by myself.
“Now don't you worry- I am with you till the end!”
I hear your voice again;
Say “Here I am my friend
Better hold on cause we're going in again” (X2)
Oh and I'm running all the time but I'm still not movin',
I stop to catch my breath, n'then like a star your're shootin'
Back into my heart -I start to hear you sing the songs we used to love (X2)
But it's Nothing but echos in silence
Still hear you singing in my head (X8)
I've got to get back to something real,
Don't you remember how it feels,
cause pairs of footprints from the day,
fall like castles to the waves,
Oh and when I get to thinkin'
I can't help but wishin' you were with me
but now I see the world around me
First was lost but now I'm found and maybe
All I've known,
was just fool's gold.
A thousand distant lights
will fade away with time,
and it's getting harder to find my way,
and I'm drifting further every day.
and I'm casting stones on a sea of stars,
and I'm hearing echos from a far
na-na-na na na na-na-na-na na (X2)
