lyrics

Oh lord it’s such a shame
All this time gone to waste
We play the hands we have
We try and keep the pace

And I’ve been kind of low
The feeling just won’t go
And ain’t it just my luck
To hear my time is up

I’m standing on the landing
I think I’m hearing birds sing
A cool breeze against my cheeks
I haven’t felt this good in weeks

I’ll leave without a sound
I’ll soon be out of town
I need the open road
I just feel that’s what I’m owed

Restless I’ve been restless
Staring at departure boards
Letters change
To cities names
I see people climb on board

Restless I’ve been restless
There’s little that I own
But in the eyes
Of passers-by
I catch a glimpse of someone’s home

I’ve been sleeping in the meadows
The clouds won’t leave the ground
Though all my dreams feel kind of hollow
I know that in the morning I’ll be fine

I climb the highest hill
I do it for the thrill
And all the way back down
I just go round and round

The day has just begun
I’m yet to see the sun
What if it don’t turn up
Well ain’t it just my luck
