Standing on the street corner
I watch the world go by
and I start to wonder
everybody's busy
no time to take a rest
it's no wonder
I still see you riding on that pony
looking for all the world
like your in your glory

now you've faded away
like a gin soaked rodeo clown
faded away
like a painting on the ground
your the only one,
I'll never miss

I still see you riding high
in the back of my old chevy
learned a lot about life in that car
man it was heavy
I still see your blonde hair shining in the moonlight
blonde has turned to grey
as though your in your twilight

now you've faded away
like a gin soaked rodeo clown
faded away
like a painting on the ground
your the only one
I'll never miss

Time has gone by
and now i sit on the porch
with my daughter
talk about life and what it means to each other
I still see you riding that **** pony
time has gone by and I realize your so phoney

now your faded away
like a gin soaked rodeo clown
faded away like a painting on the ground
your the only one
I'll never miss

Took a walk down a lonely beat
nowhere town ,nowhere street
walked in silence listening
to the wind blowing through
the trees

Hoping fortune would smile on me
tortured days turn to tortured dreams
endless lies bear bitter fruit
endless lies conceal the truth

You cant fly on broken wings
You cant fly on midnight dreams
take a look and what do you see
come on baby ,take a walk with me

An empty page in a dusty book
been ten years since I looked
at the pictures of another me
come on baby take a walk with me

You can't fly on broken wings
You can't fly on midnight dreams
take a look and what do you see
come on baby, take a walk with me

Woke up to a smiling face
memory lane was an empty place
distant pictures of another time
another place to conceal your lies

You can't fly on broken wings
You can't fly on midnight dreams
take a look and what do you see
come on baby, take a walk with me

Silent warnings
dimly perceived
shadows falling
like dead leaves

Just another story
like you and me
dissedent reason
can't ever please

Standing alone
in a crowd
waiting for emotions
to cloud

Cant stand inside the ring
cant even perceive a thing
always striving
for the truth

Making a martyr of
my youth
now it seems
long in the tooth

Keeping young
is just a game
being young  
your voice to gain

Every morning
same old rush
gather my things
catch the bus

Off to toil
for my bread
while you lie in your bed

But that is not  
the life for me
I must look after
your endless needs

To what end
I ask myself
for all i do
my will must bend

I hang my head
when I have heard
your scathing words
that seem absurd

I bite my tounge
and curse inward
far to often on the verge

To leave you here
for all to see
I've done my time
my mind is free

Two hearts
mirrored in time
one looking forward
one looking behind
together as one
as only could be
face the world
a solid team
working together
learning forever
becoming one

Say your wicked
Say your mean
I only know you by the way you treated me
took the time to listen
took the time to wander by
opened up your heart
and stood the test of time

and I say thanks
and I say thanks
Thank you for doing what you didn't have to do
and I said hey brother Thank you

Sitting with you
on the bus that day
neither of us knew
we would end up this way
started to look to the other one
whos on the hook for a little fun

and I said Thanks
and I said Thanks
And I said thank you for doing what you did'nt have to do
and I said Hey sister Thank you

just one life is all we have
seems like a shame to waste it
complications often rule your day
but you can escape the day

Say your wicked
say your mean
I only know you by the way you treated me

Dancing clowns in the market square today
birds are singing,wind brushes my face
people laughing,people clapping , having a good time
sadly feels like I awoke in a different time

As I look around I slowly see
everything is as real as I want it to be
a lesson learned from a book I read long ago
seems to be the only thing is to let go

as the day fades away
and the moonlight glows
staring at the midnight sky
the mood seems to flow

I want to wake to this again
I want to take you by the hand
I want to wake to this again
I want to live like this again
