lyrics
Sun and sand, like ocean waves,
lap at his blistered feet.
Well he has nowhere to go
and everywhere is the same.
But still, he must move on.
And every eye that catches his
And every thought that flutters by
Must quickly turn away
And they say time waits for no man
But he’s still here alone
Wondering if he’ll ever make it back home
So many stars circle the sky
Yet they all seem to pass
in the blink of an eye
Then shatter like so much glass.
I’ve done so many things I regret
I’ve seen things I’ll never forget
But my last thoughts are of her
Sweet Anomoly, my daughter
I hope her world is a better place
And I hope she’ll remember my face
After I am dead and gone
It will be her turn to sing a new song.
No matter what he says
Or what he does
He’s instantly forgotten
Loved ones and strangers alike
Have forgotten the taste
Of his name on their lips
And they say time waits for no man
But he’s still here alone
Wondering if he’ll ever make it back home
I’ve done so many things I regret
I’ve seen things I’ll never forget
But my last thoughts are of her
Sweet Anomoly, my daughter
I hope her world is a better place
And I hope she’ll remember my face
After I am dead and gone
It will be her turn to sing a new song.
So many stars circle the sky
Yet they all seem to pass
in the blink of an eye
Then shatter like so much glass.
At night when he chases sleep
His mind looks back to time gone
And people he’s known swallowed by the deep
Never again to the dawn
But he’s seen countless sunrises
And sung the same old song
Until finally he realizes
He’s been after death all along
So he locks the controls
His journey won’t be far
He’ll try to meet old souls
In the center of a star.
