作曲 : Holland | |
When the supreme authorities of our culture | |
Tell us to get down on our knees | |
And beg for salvation from some divinity | |
Is it any wonder there are people | |
Begging on the street for salvation from poverty | |
Well, it's no surprise to me | |
It's no surprise to me | |
I left my home in the church | |
I left my home in the suburbs to wander | |
Now I did it all for my dreams | |
And the star that | |
I followed fell from the periphery | |
And the street lights | |
Slipping down my windshield fell like falling stars | |
Down a dark country road | |
I first left my home when | |
I was seventeen | |
And I paid my respects to my fellow rejects | |
But I tended to wander alone | |
Like I was listening to the words of a song | |
Whispered soft and low | |
Well it's kind of like dancing | |
It's kind of like losing your mind | |
And I've often considered | |
The impractibility of my life | |
And the moon behind the clouds is ill-defined | |
Well I got lost so many times | |
But I could not be consigned | |
To a fate of obsolescence and decline | |
So I'll take the chance again | |
And the Mockingbird is my friend | |
When he sings a song in the warm midnight wind | |
So I'll follow my old tune | |
And I'll wish you good morning |
