Lyrics
Chasing the Sun
Here's to distant sorrow and today
Old pictures in my mind are packed away
Here's to new beginnings
Moving forward without fearing
All the things that life could throw my way
I'm chasing the sun
My time here is done
I'm chasing the sun
Standing still here long enough
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
In this bar I've served my time
I've filled your glass
I've cleared tables where relics collect dust
And in the eyes of weathered faces
I see them mourn a dream that died
Well I'm not stranded here and mine's alive
I'm chasing the sun
My time here is done
I'm chasing the sun
Standing still here long enough
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
Here's to my good friends
Our paths will cross again
I hope you never lose belief
As we roam we grow we change
All the things we say we'll do but don't
Will haunt us with regret
I'm doing all I said Id do
So here's to falling down then standing up again
I'm chasing the sun
My time here is done
I'm chasing the sun
Standing still here long enough
I'm chasing the sun
I'm chasing the sun
