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