Story Behind the Song
This is another example of how the desire to be back in the limelight inspires us to write.
Lyrics
In the wake of what I knew, time forgetting
All those ordinary people with their head-down view
When I look back over time, watch the window in my eye
Meant to be there waiting for you
Say a little fortune in the spirit of a friend
I could never be so willing, every day’s a chance
And I can see it, but it looks so far away
Take in all the bad and good, no reason for this now... or do I wonder?
Laughing at the world tonight, something’s just not there you know
I can hardly wait until I’m back, until I’m hanging on the wall
I am noble to a dream, pinch the senses
As I understand whatever path I stumble on
Only old enough to wait, with tomorrow on a string
Some cruel philosophy that drowns me just the same
Say a little lie for me to make it go away
I could never be so willing, every day’s a chance
And I can see it, but it looks so far away
Take in all the bad and good, no reason for this now... or do I wonder?
Laughing at the world tonight, something’s just not there you know
I can hardly wait until I’m back, until I’m hanging on the wall
Say a little fortune in the spirit of a friend
I could never be so willing, every day’s a chance
And I can see it, but it looks so far away
