Lyrics
every morning when i rise
the subway lets out at compromise
i come home i can bareley stand
guess that means i've become a man
I look back on days gone by
the world looked just like an open sky
well you never see it coming
like god knocks upon your door
glance around at your life
you can't recognize it anymore
time is slipping through your fingers
you wonder what your living for
sometimes life just ain't that fair
was a time i'd thought i'd go anywhere
now the days look all the same
no one but myself to blame
wonder what my dreams became
washed out with so many years of rain
i see folks with vacant stares
imagine what's in their prayers
they look back on days gone by
the world looked just like an open sky
and wonder what their dreams became
washed out with so many years of rain
the distance growin every day
all you can do is turn away
