Lyrics
Someday
Lots of empty seats on this airplane,
Lots of time to ask myself why,
We could have finished hanging the mirror,
Instead I'm facing an empty sky,
If I had looked to see my reflection before,
The truth about how things are,
You wouldn't have driven me to the airport,
Wouldn't have stood outside of your car.
And that look,
It's written all over your face,
I can feel it in your embrace,
That you needed me there,
But the times growing near.
And today,
It keeps coming back this way,
Look up and the skies are gray,
Someday,
Will you need me again someday?
When you started your quest many years ago,
To capture life as it comes,
You made your return at the end of the year,
Only to find no one home.
And that look,
Falling with nowhere to land,
I reached out and you took my hand,
Helping you through the pain,
Rainbow after the rain.
And today,
It keeps coming back this way,
Look up and the skies are gray,
Someday,
Will you need me again someday?
Tried to hold on but it couldn't be done,
Can't capture the wind, can't block out the sun,
Wanted you there, thought that we had begun,
But your eyes were fixed on the journey beyond.
Lots of empty seats on this airplane,
Lots of time to ask myself why,
We could have finished hanging the mirror,
Instead I'm facing an empty sky,
Can we turn it around, go back to the gate,
Can you wait for me at the beach?
Together we'll feel the wind in our face,
Perhaps the stars are in reach.
And we'll look,
Out at the open sea,
Feeling the evening's breeze,
Where the wind and waves meet,
Washing over our feet.
And today,
It keeps coming back this way,
Look up and the skies are gray,
Someday,
Will you need me again someday?
