Lyrics
I was just thinkin' 'bout time, thinkin' 'bout a rhyme
Thinkin' 'bout my life
Bringin' back the nights, dancin' in the lights
Havin' you by my side
All roads once travelled in time
Well they meet again - when will we
Spinnin' our wheels, tryin' to get the feel
Get the new rims right
Getting' our hopes up, dreamin' of the road
Mix it right
Could you find what you wanted to find
Here in time, when you closed your eyes -
Then it just ... slipped away
"Don't Give Up Your Day Job
You'll never get there singin' to trains underground"
"You better Give Up Your Day Job and start writing those poems"
"Don't Give Up Your Day Job
You won't like it livin' your life on the road"
"You better Give Up Your Day Job and start singin' those songs"
Kalymba solo
'Cause true lovers eyes don't see - even when they're open
'Cause true lovers eyes don't see - even when they're open
Rhythm break
I was just thinkin' 'bout time, thinkin' 'bout a rhyme
Thinkin' 'bout my life
Bringin' back the nights, dancin' in the lights
Havin' you by my side
All roads once travelled in time
Well they meet again - when will we, when will we
