Distant thoughts inside my head
Headlines that I've casually read
Nothing good can be spoon fed it's obvious
I'm taking off into thin air, if I never land I don't care
As long as I am happy there, I'm there to stay

And the shadows are growing longer with the evening
I can hear a melody from far away
Drums are pounding, guitars slowly grieving
As the sun sheds it's last light upon the day

Melodies mysterious, the music is to serious
Chalk it up to experience and wander on
Seasons change but don't inspire the words
That work but aren't for hire
They're hanging off the thinning wire that is my brain

And the shadows are growing longer with the evening
I can hear a melody from far away
Drums are pounding, guitars slowly grieving
As the sun sheds it's last light upon the day

I feel it till I strike a note
That's sure to set my head afloat
With remedies, anecdotes I'm needing
As I head through space unknown
I'll take my first few steps alone
And hope that I'm not plain out prone and broken

And the shadows are growing stronger with the evening
I can hear a melody from far away
Drums are beating, guitars slowly grieving
As the sun sheds it's last light upon the day
