Years changing - Filthy water at duskCan't help but feelThings are bigger than ever beforeWatched the leaves fallThen get back up on the trees and fall againHeard my name calledBy the voice of wasted chanceIt all slipped and slid on downAnd I picked it up to watch it fall againAnd tomorrow refused to hitBut then the sky broke and let it inAnd this water isn't cold enoughAnd this water smells like the seaAnd I lie, and I feel weightlessAnd I feel it's the only way to beI took a journey to the pyramids - There was nothing there but sandAnd the ghost of a man who had never been bornIn a thousand years, no one planted trees thereSo all that grew from sand was stoneAnd he screamed, "No more," But she added to the drawings on her veinsAnd he summoned the strength to bite down on the splintersSongtexteAnd deliver them both awayLast time we came down the mountainWas the best day I ever lived. We went farther than we'd ever been before, And I knew the summer was on its way. One, two, three we counted down; It was all laid out before us in black-and-white, And I defused the bomb, And I cleaned up the wreckage, And I was OK, and I had it all figured out, And it was our year, and we took it in our hands, And I took a fistful of dirt and swallowed it down, And said, "No more." And now we stand in the fading lightOf something too big to seeAnd the sun will rise, when the moon will setBehind the endless mass of the treesAnd there's something new at the end of the roadAnd there's something good beyond the treesAnd I'll drive on out to that place out thereAnd park my car by the seaOnce the ball has dropped, it'll be in sightIt's out there, waiting for meFinally, Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
