Play me something gently, I´m across the ocean missin´ home There are lights on sparklin´ towers that shine dark when seen alone
Somewhere there´s a mountain that overlooks the sea I wonder if that mountain has got more rock than my band and me And I ain´t no victim to a naive boy´s dreams But I wish you were here now to see these damned old sparklin´ things
It´s a long road to heaven (Long road) It´s a far drop to hell I pray we outlive this fountain (Pray we outlive) I reckon time will tell The stronger folks keep goin´ No matter where they´ve been (No matter where they´ve been) And there are lights on sparklin´ towers That I´ll never see again (I´ll never see them again)
I am not the person that I was yesterday And the things I´m seeing now will never be the same Do you think God´s a person or the blinking lights? They reflect in her eyes while she walks these streets at night Do you think God´s a person or is He just the sound Of laughter through the walls in a place I haven´t found?
It´s a long road to heaven (Long road) It´s a far drop to hell I pray we outlive this fountain I reckon only time can tell The stronger folks keep goin´
No matter where they´ve been (No matter where they´ve been) There are lights on sparklin´ towers That I´ll never see again
Do you think God´s a person or is He just the sound Of early mornin´ creakin´´on some floors way out of town? I´m breathin´ in a life and my legs are workin´ fine Do you think God´s a person or the slowly passin´ time?
