young again, I'd pay attention
To that little known dimension
that tastes in endless time
it runs right through our fingers
But the flavor of it lingers like a rich red wine
In those days we were single,
they don't walk, they run
I got plenty left, I've set my sight on
Don't wait up, leave the light on
Never seen my life in such a hurry
But if I start to worry, I get left behind
but you don't get invitations
Just one destination, you better be on time
For years we rhymed in couplets,
Now we hardly rhyme at all,
there's bullets left to bite on
Don't wait up, leave the light on,
That drummer in my head needs
There's a lack of syncopation
Little holes need to align
It's just hard to leave these cases
By stages we're just sinking
For years we lived in waltz time,
we danced them three by three
Don't wake up, leave the light on
These races that we've run
But the race we're running now
Since space and time have ended,
If I lived to be a hundred,
I was born in forty -four
but I ain't keeping score
I've been left for dead before,
Don't wait up, leave the light on,
I've been left for dead before,
Don't wait up, leave the light on,
