While the Dying of the Light Remains the Right Stuff
- Dying of The Light
I keep on running but I can't get to the mountain behind me lie the years that I misspent And I've been sinking like a flower in the fountain When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven sent
Gonna try my best to get there but I can't afford the bus fare and the storm that's rolling over man, it makes my wanna cry
[Chorus] And I was told that the streets were paved with gold and there'd be no time for getting old when we were young But it's all right if you dance with me tonight we'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun
Woke up sleeping on a train that was bound for nowhere the echoes that I could hear were all my own the world had turned and I'd become a stranger And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone
'Cause I tried my best to get there but I can't afford the bus fare and the storm that's rolling over man it makes me wanna cry and the cold against my shoulder when it comes on in the winter and it seems to last forever and it makes me wanna, it makes me wanna cry
[Chorus] (instrumental break) 'Cause I tried my best to get there but I can't afford the bus fare and the storm that's rolling over man, it makes my wanna cry [Chorus]
And the cold against my shoulder when it comes on in the winter man, it makes me wanna cry And the cold against my shoulder and it seems to last forever and it make me make me wanna it makes me wanna cry
- The Right Stuff
Out of the blue I heard an angel say "Give me your soul and I'll be on my way" You and I got the right stuff You and I got the right stuff
Are you a sleeper or a mortal soul? Are you the devil with a heart of gold? You and I got the right stuff You and I got the right stuff
When your heart gets shattered And your jeans get frayed And your baby sings the mourning At the end of the day
When your heart gets shattered And your jeans get frayed And your baby sings the mourning At the end of the day You and I got the right stuff You and I got the right stuff You and I got the right stuff You and I
- While the Song Remains the Same
Hold that thought don't let me go We can dance beneath the fireflies on an empty road. It's a shame how a memory fades to grey. We let love get lost in anger chasing yesterday.
[Chorus:] Find me a place where the sun shines through the rain Find me the pleasure in the pain While the song remains the same let it go on and on and on...
Take me back to the town where I was born 'Cause I'm tired of being a stranger and I'm miles from home. We can hide by a lonely windowpane We can walk the streets of my life while they still remain.
[Chorus]
Hold that thought don't let me go We can dance beneath the fireflies on an empty road..
