GORDON LIGHTFOOT - Race Among The Ruins lyrics

rate me

You think you had the last laugh<br>Now you know this can't be true<br>Even though the sun shines down upon you now<br>Sometimes you must feel blue<br>You make the best of each new day<br>You try not to be sad<br>Even though the sky falls down upon you<br>Call it midnight feelin' bad<br>When you wake up to the promise<br>Of your dream world comin' true<br>With one less friend to call on<br>Was it someone that I knew<br>Away you will go sailin'<br>In a race among the ruins<br>If you plan to face tomorrow<br>Do it soon<br><br>The road to love is littered<br>By the bones of other ones<br>Who by the magic of the moment<br>Were mysteriously undone<br>You try to understand it<br>But you never seem to find<br>Any kind of freedom comin' clean<br>Is just another state of mind<br><br>When you wake up to the promise<br>Of your dream world comin' true<br>With one less friend to call on<br>Was it someone that I knew<br>Away you will go sailin'<br>In a race among the ruins<br>If you plan to face tomorrow<br>Do it soon<br><br>So take the best of all that's left<br>You know this cannot last<br>Even though your mother was you maker<br>From her apron strings you pass<br>Just think about the fool<br>Who by his virtue can be found<br>In a most unusual situation<br>Playin' jester to the clown<br><br>When you wake up to the promise<br>Of your dream world comin' true<br>With one less friend to call on<br>Was it someone that I knew<br>Away you will go sailin'<br>In a race among the ruins<br>If you plan to face tomorrow<br>Do it soon<br><br>When you wake up to the promise<br>Of your dream world comin' true<br>With one less friend to call on<br>Was it someone that I knew<br>Away you will go sailin'<br>In a race among the ruins<br>If you plan to face tomorrow<br>Do it soon
