Race Among The Ruins
Gordon Lightfoot You think you had the last laugh Even though the sun shines down upon you now Now you know this can't be true Sometimes you must feel blue You make the best of each new day You try not to be sad Call it midnight feelin' bad Even though the sky falls down upon you When you wake up to the promise Of your dream world comin' true With one less friend to call on Away you will go sailin' Was it someone that I knew If you plan to face tomorrow In a race among the ruins Do it soon The road to love is littered By the bones of other ones Who by the magic of the moment You try to understand it Were mysteriously undone Any kind of freedom comin' clean But you never seem to find Is just another state of mind When you wake up to the promise Of your dream world comin' true Was it someone that I knew With one less friend to call on Away you will go sailin' In a race among the ruins If you plan to face tomorrow Do it soon So take the best of all that's left You know this cannot last >From her apron strings you pass Just think about the fool Even though your mother was you maker Who by his virtue can be found In a most unusual situation Playin' jester to the clown When you wake up to the promise Of your dream world comin' true With one less friend to call on Was it someone that I knew Away you will go sailin' In a race among the ruins If you plan to face tomorrow Do it soon When you wake up to the promise Of your dream world comin' true With one less friend to call on Away you will go sailin' Was it someone that I knew In a race among the ruins Do it soonIf you plan to face tomorrow |
