Lyrics 30 Years - John Wetton

30 Years

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime
then left you girl
Like shadows from the sun,
Run into traces
Of faces you thought you saw
But never seemed to mean much more
than echoes of a day gone by When someone else would have to try
To light the stars
…In your sky.
All the things you planned
Just sand castles washed away
On tidal waves of tears,
fears overpowering
Your complex dreams just slither down
drowning in rocky pools,
Or smashed and dashed
On peril’s course, divorcing prematurely
thoughts
Of lasting love
…In your life.
Sometime when you’ve time to spare
Feeling of missed opportunity
Spare a tear and douse your bridge…
burning
30 years and on the ledge…
learning
All the things you planned
30 years in bed.
