Last Light - Mark Bryan

Distant thoughts inside my head

Headlines that I’ve casually read

Nothing good can be spoon fed it’s obvious

I’m taking off into thin air, if I never land I don’t care

As long as I am happy there, I’m there to stay

And the shadows are growing longer with the evening

I can hear a melody from far away

Drums are pounding, guitars slowly grieving

As the sun sheds it’s last light upon the day

Melodies mysterious, the music is to serious

Chalk it up to experience and wander on

Seasons change but don’t inspire the words

That work but aren’t for hire

They’re hanging off the thinning wire that is my brain

And the shadows are growing longer with the evening

I can hear a melody from far away

Drums are pounding, guitars slowly grieving

As the sun sheds it’s last light upon the day

I feel it till I strike a note

That’s sure to set my head afloat

With remedies, anecdotes I’m needing

As I head through space unknown

I’ll take my first few steps alone

And hope that I’m not plain out prone and broken

And the shadows are growing stronger with the evening

I can hear a melody from far away

Drums are beating, guitars slowly grieving

As the sun sheds it’s last light upon the day
