[Verse]
D# G#
If I were young again I'd pay attention,
D# A#
To that little known dimension, the taste of endless time.
D# G#
Just like water, it runs right through my fingers,
D# A# D#
But the flavor of it lingers like a rich red wine.
A# D#
In those days we were single, and we lived them one by one.
A# G# A#
Now we hardly see 'em, they don't walk, they run.
[Chorus]
D# G#
But I got plenty left I've set my sight on,
D# A# D#
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon.
[Turnaround]
D# G# D# A# D#
[Verse]
D# G#
I never seen my life in such a hurry,
D# A#
But if I start to worry, I get left behind.
D# G#
It's like a party, but you don't get invitations,
D# A# D#
And there's just one destination, you better be on time.
A# D#
For years we rhymed in couplets, and we sang 'em two by two.
A# G# A#
Now we hardly rhyme at all but here's a few:
[Chorus]
D# G#
And if they hurt there's bullets left to bite on,
D# A# D#
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon.
[Turnaround]
D# G# D# A# D#
[Verse]
D# G#
That drummer in my head needs inspiration,
D# A#
There's a lack of syncopation, that holds me to a line.
D# G#
It's just so hard to leave these cages that we think in,
D# A# D#
By stages we just sink in, to a slow decline.
A# D#
For years we lived and waltzed the time, and we danced 'em three by three.
A# G# A#
Now it's hard to dance but if you stick with me...
[Chorus]
D# G#
We've got what we need to spend the night on,
D# A# D#
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon
[Solo]
D# G# D# A# D#/A# A# D# G# D# A# D#
[Verse]
D# G#
These races that we've run were not for glory,
D# A#
No moral to the story, we run for peace of mind.
D# G#
But the race we're running now is never ending,
D# A# D#
Since space and time are bending, there's no finish line.
A# D#
But I'll live to be a hundred, I was born in forty-four,
A# G# A#
Thirty-nine to go but I ain't keepin score.
[Chorus]
D# G#
I've been left for dead before but I still fight on,
D# A# D#
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon.
[Chorus]
D# G#
I've been left for dead before but I still fight on,
D# A# D#
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon. (ritardando)
