Happy Rhodes - Temporary And Eternal lyrics

rate me

He is broken, far from free

Words were spoken, 'tween him and me

"I had friends, yes, I was admired

I'm so old now, feel so tired."

Well he walks to the gate and he looks behind

at life in rewind

And wishes he had known these things

while still alive.

He can see the reason for everything

"Where do I go to get my wings?"

Going to fly

She sees faces in her home

Wonders why they (don't) leave her alone

"You must know child, I am all here.

They think I'm fading, senile, I fear."

Well she walks to the gate and she looks behind

at a life in rewind

And wishes she had known these things

while still alive.

"I can see the pupose now and all I've learned.

All of the roads and where they've turned

I can see, I can see everything, the total truth

I'm ready for another youth."

Going to fly
