The Beckoning Sea
I was rolling through MontanaI recall like yesterdayTwenty years have gone nowBut I know I'm mostly still the sameDoes anybody ever really change?I never thought when I got olderI would still be feeling thisDesire and yearningBut I've learned and I try not to wishDon't want to wish it all awayI can drive all night out hereTurn the pages back year by yearEach face and every place in my lifeOr I can let it all wash down freeAnd ride the river to the beckoning sea'Cause that is where we're all flowing anyhowI was holding onto nothingI just realized todayPhotographs and memoriesAre not even remotely the sameMaybe neither one is trueCause when I think of what I've done hereSongtexteWhen I collect all the thingsSet them out before meThis improbably gathering of dreamsSo many left for me to doI can drive all night out hereTurn the pages back year by yearEach face and every place in my lifeOr I can let it all wash down freeAnd ride the river to the beckoning sea'Cause that is where we're all flowing anyhowI can still feel where you touched meIf I only close my eyesEvery finger of your handWas a whisper on my skinAs you drew the circles of the loveThe love we had between usThe circle never endsIt whirls round and round againI can drive all night out hereTurn the pages back year by yearEach face and every place in my lifeOr I can let it all wash down freeAnd ride the river to the beckoning sea'Cause that is where we're all flowing anyhowThat is where we'll all meet up someday Aus Songtexte Mania
