Stretched out and staring up from your front lawn at the stars on a dark blue pallet of nothing
I make wishes that mean nothing and no one hears
Your heart is splintered in pieces, barely enough for kindling.
Look out for the flood plain of salt stained tears.
They say that life’s for the living,
Should put some distance in the way
It’s a poor man’s song that has no tune
You can’t get gone when you’re looking for your pay
Someday will happen, least that’s what I heard.
Just keep your head down and don’t say a word.
Someday will happen between the moon and the sun
But you’re not the one; no you’re not the one
And I’m sitting in my living room
Wondering how it all fell apart,
Reflections on my TV screen
Sound of water in my ears and a weight on my heart.
Writing out just one more cheque
I never saw this coming, from a thousand days ago
The music’s just a memory now, I
Always thought there was another way to go
Someday will happen, least that’s what I heard.
Just keep you head down and don’t say a word.
Someday will happen between the moon and the sun
Can I be the one?
Coffee’s getting cold and I’m just about to go
When the doorbell rings and you walk in
You tell me that you’re tired too
Now I know that I can’t win
Someday will happen, I think that it’s today
Had your head down for so long
There must be another way
