Day may never break
Tomorrow comes too late
The final forceful voice shakes the halls of the great
I miss you to the end
Until we meet again
Long beyond the blue horizon where the iron starts to bend
I have sailed the seas
And I have walked the dust
I have trod the bridges into places where flesh fades to rust
The fires have been lit
At the tables of the poor
An empty-handed loser lurks behind the door
At the bottom of my soul
I glimpsed the dying light
Time will take its toll
In the shadows of the proud
Maybe this minute will be my last
Blame the waves for washing off the sand
Seeking secrets in the bowery from the shrouded man
Who lifts his hood to turn the darkness pale
From this place I will
Sail on
The names have been changed
To protect the games
The hopes we held yesterday have perished in the flames
The river rages on
The sun has scorched the lawn
The horseman and the queen have conspired against the pawn
Broken by the fall
Buried before they call
The patient tombstone awaits us one and all
On the sage of your heart
The madman plays his part
Hidden from the helpless is the dream of life as art
At the bottom of world
I glimpsed the dying light
Time will take its toll
Crushing fantasies
Maybe this minute will filter past
Blame your age for the wisdom you have burned
Stain your page with the letters you have earned
With every breath you pay the toll
From this place I will
Roll on
