about

lyrics

Watch the sun set on my shoulder
Oceans come and go flow through my eyes
Mirror, mirror crack the earthbound river
You can feel the time rushing by

Ocean in the pouring rain
Matter flowing through my veins
Earth rolls on, earth rolls on
Rain dance on a windy shore
Earthbound forevermore

Feel the weight of the world on your shoulders
Listing, drifting through a piece of the big sky
Days, like sand, slip through my hand
Can't you feel the time rushing by?

Shotgun on a desert train
You bless the soul and pray for rain
Earth rolls on, earth rolls on
Searching for the open door
You deserve so much more
But time marches on
Earth rolls on

If you feel like a pawn in some greater game
And if you feel the walls are closing in
I am no messiah, I am no sorcerer - saint
I am just a man bound to this land
Take my hand

So many days slip through my hand
You can see a thousand worlds in my eyes
Read the message in my teardrops
Wonder how the time passed you by

Ocean in the pouring rain
Matter flowing through my veins
Earth rolls on, earth rolls on
Rain dance on a windy shore
Earthbound forevermore
