Lyrics

FOREVER RESTLESS
music & lyrics by
Gayla Smith

the nights get longer and the winds get cold
we run from the inevitable as we grow old
still we want to live forever if we can

still there?s some violence in my neighborhood
these days you know that it can only get so good
so turn around and try to keep your crying to yourself

chorus:
where is my ivory palace
and my endless streets of gold?
where we?ll never know of injury
and there is no such thing as old
i can?t stay here forever
and in the end what is it worth
I WILL BE FOREVER RESTLESS ON THIS EARTH

i?ve seen a lot of wars, several times of peace
there?s always some dissension, will it ever cease?
and you can?t plase everybody all the time they say
i?m looking forward to a time when i can say
i?ve left it all behind me and i?ve gone away
all the harsh words and wrong directions come to pass

repeat chorus
