From the recording Lifeboat
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 about how time has gone
Like a leaf on the ground
Thinking about 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 about how time has gone
Like King Solomon’s walls
Thinking about how time was my friend
Who never answers my calls
Now I’m carrying a load
And I’m up against the rolling tide
‘Cause I’m a man overboard
And I need a lifeboat tonight
A lifeboat tonight
Thinking about how time has gone
A shooting star in the night
Thinking about 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
