30 Years - John Wetton

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime

then left you girl

Like shadows from the sun,

Run into traces

Of faces you thought you saw

But never seemed to mean much more

than echoes of a day gone by When someone else would have to try

To light the stars

…In your sky.

All the things you planned

Just sand castles washed away

On tidal waves of tears,

fears overpowering

Your complex dreams just slither down

drowning in rocky pools,

Or smashed and dashed

On peril’s course, divorcing prematurely

thoughts

Of lasting love

…In your life.

Sometime when you’ve time to spare

Feeling of missed opportunity

Spare a tear and douse your bridge…

burning

30 years and on the ledge…

learning

All the things you planned

30 years in bed.
