Lyrics
Candy canes and we would always find our way home.
Those were the days when I would never be alone.
Then the years went by—my life was carrying on,
And when I stopped to look, they turned the radio on.
Thinking ‘bout how time has gone like a leaf on the ground.
Thinking ‘bout how time was my friend who’s always racing around.
Now I’m sinking in the holes that imagination pulls aside
And I’m walking on the coals from the fire that my soul ignites,
That my soul ignites.
I climbed aboard the ship I was told I should take
To find success, and love, and where there’s money to make.
And though at first I felt the ship was stable and right.
But now I feel it keeling over and there’s no land in sight.
Thinking ‘bout how time has gone like King Solomon’s walls.
Thinking ‘bout how time was my friend who never answers my calls.
Now I’m carrying a load and I’m up against the rising tide
‘Cause I’m a man overboard and I need a lifeboat tonight,
A lifeboat tonight.
Thinking ‘bout how time has gone—a shooting star in the night.
Thinking ‘bout how time was my friend who ran away with my wife.
Now I’m feeling kinda low, though I’m already knowing why
‘Cause I push when I should pull and I need a lifeboat tonight.
Now I’m feeling kinda low, though I’m already knowing why
‘Cause I’m a man overboard and I need a lifeboat tonight,
A lifeboat tonight.
