lyrics

A distant voice calls to me of a hope which underlies
All the fear and the worry that runs through this life
And though I miss my old ways I know it's not right
To dwell on the past as it drifts out of sight

Well crowds seem to scare me so I keep my head down
And of strangers I am wary for no reason I've found
But my near and my dear ones are a scatter of seeds
We live for the sunshine and we drift in the breeze

Remember that evening we stayed out til sunrise
I could tell you were lonely by that look in your eyes
And the red sun which rolls now over these empty streets
Is a beautiful reminder of all we've achieved

A drunk sings an old song from the depths of his heart
He says 'where has my life gone, when did it fall apart?'
And he knows now that he's lost all because all that he sees
Are the stars through an empty bottle of whiskey.
