LYRICS: Of all the bleak and brilliant Beyond the tarnished glass And all the howling agony That shall ever come to pass I can speak not a word Open doors, a myriad Futures lie beyond them all The years have brought me here The tedium of wax and wane The cyclic flow of sun and rain Beget that ebb most terrible When fantastic grows mundane Wistful wind has always lured Even kings to misery O wanderlust, the gilded promise That sirens never keep This transition spirits me away Left alone, I ponder I find my heart ensconced in shade In the middle of the day As one in my conviction To wander... To wait and wait and waste it away To pass forever into a day Extinguishing the flame Just to keep the moths away This will not come again I hear the fool I used to be Asking breathlessly If I still believe in the dream I stand defiant In the shadow of destiny But there is one thing that I wish to know Does the dream believe in me Push me away Compel me to stay Tear me away This transition spirits me away Left alone, I ponder (and pray for rain) I find my heart ensconced in shade In the middle of the day As one in my conviction To wander ******************* Lyrics by Tom Socia Music and lyrics © & ℗ Tanagra 2018-2019.
