We all do things which others don’t approve
I’m sure that you’re no different now, so what’d ya got to lose
You said you’d like to try it next time when
I know I might be going ’round that way again

Running quicker down the sidewalk
Look right there I see my rowboat
Hitting tables, bottles bending
Walking slower, trees are talking
Late at night the bus is waiting
Time to see a sunset rising
Still a lot we have to see yet

Well I remember on my first time out
Running in a field where time turned inside out
Have you seen rainbows coming from the walls,
or heard strange things happening out there in the hall

Running quicker down the sidewalk
Look right there I see my rowboat
Hitting tables, bottles bending
Walking slower, trees are talking
Late at night the bus is waiting
Time to see a sunset rising
Still a lot we haven’t seen yet

(Solo)

Well I’ve seen things you never dreamed could be
And sounds that go beyond a common melody
The thoughts and visions running through my mind
I reach to touch them, but they vanish in the dawn

Running quicker down the sidewalk
Look right there’s my yellow rowboat
Hitting tables, bottles bending
Tripping, falling, trees are talking
Late at night the bus is waiting
Time to see a sunset rising
Still a lot we have to do yet

Well things seem different now from back then when
Our thoughts were so much younger, not so long ago
If things aren’t quite the way you thought you’d find
You’d better take some time to change before you’re out of time
