Miles To Go Before We Sleep

Sail on Sweet Soul Down beside these rocks where waves crash like giants Sits a man with his thoughts and a smile Just a song in his heart and a ghost in his mind A lifetime of memories on trial Well the blue of his eyes matches that of the sea Where he knew he always belonged And he faces the wind that is whipping like sin Like a king he takes his crown And he says let these squalls please carry me away Let my life be that of a hurricane Oh I’m stepping out of line Just to leave it all behind So say a prayer for me as I drift out to sea I’m leaving here tonight Well if I should find your good graces in time If I could right what I’ve done wrong I’d change all your days in so many ways To feel like an old familiar song But the past is the past and the tides they all change We all must float along So I’ll face the wind that is whipping like sin Sail on sweet soul sail on And he says let these squalls please carry me away Let my life be that of a hurricane Oh I’m stepping out of line Just to leave it all behind So say a prayer for me as I drift out to sea I’m leaving here tonight

Gordie Lachance He looked them in the eyes and he knew that they were gone Just a gang of restless hearts and the beat of one good song The train tracks ran through the middle of the earth Chase them to the river’s edge just to see what they were worth A few messages a day to see if they were still alive Counting down the minutes to the bell that sounded right on time And he said to his friend man I’m walking out the door I keep spinning my wheels I know that we were meant for more What do you say We chase our dreams and run There’s nothing left here for us now Skin it man forget the past somehow What’s done is done We can’t get it back So follow me across these tracks We’ll live like thieves who fight the setting sun Let’s move along We’re burning through the scenes like a film we used to know And we’re living in a dream hoping we don’t have to go No I won’t stop now dodging trains that come our way The devil in the night will lead us to a brand new day What do you say We chase our dreams and run There’s nothing left here for us now Skin it man forget the past somehow What’s done is done We can’t get it back So follow me across these tracks We’ll live like thieves who fight the setting sun Let’s move along And I’m wondering where this all will lead If I’m fighting this alone Then I turn and see these kids stand right by me And I know we’re walking down that same old road Not letting go What do you say We chase our dreams and run There’s nothing left here for us now Skin it man forget the past somehow What’s done is done We can’t get it back So follow me across these tracks We’ll live like thieves who fight the setting sun Let’s move along Oh I’m too deep into this so I’m long gone Let’s move along

Gold Everything we Everything we’ve worked for is gone Except for this love And all we chose to All we chose to believe is all gone Except for this love Words are ringing in my ears You failures and your fears Will see the light of day But tonight we wash them away In desperation we all sing And I would not change a thing This was our road And we paved it in gold In these waters In these waters clean and cool We found this love Across these oceans Across these oceans I give to you This undying love We face a frightening road With dangers nobody knows But never alone Yeah never alone The earth could shake and slowly die And I’d never question why I’d just take hold of your hand I’d just take hold of your hand In desperation we all sing And I would not change a thing Yeah this is our road And we paved it in Gold We gave all we had Through sunshine and rain Through laughter and pain We gave all we had And if I should fall If time slips away When we’re old and grey Oh my heart still beats true I’m glad I fell with you
