from Home Again

..............................................



I saw you just the other day

I watched you walk a little way

You vanished 'round the corner

When I got there you were gone



You might of heard me if I'd called

We could have spoken but I stalled

And let the moment slip

And in a moment it was gone



I saw, you see

But you did not see me

You were going somewhere



I saw you driving down the road

I waved at you, you never slowed

I watched you as the distance

Made you small

And you were gone



A haze of dust rose on the air

Suspended for a moment there

It settled to the road again

It didn't last too long



I saw, you see

But you did not see me

You were going somewhere



Time was all I had

But the timing was bad

When I looked your way

You neglected to stay

You were going somewhere



My timing's bad

Your time's been sold

You're looking young

You're feeling old

You're looking straight ahead of you

I'm standing on the side

Your silver spoon is tarnished old

But still you'll turn it into gold

Ambition's going to get you there

I hope you like the ride



You were going somewhere

You were going somewhere

You were going somewhere

You were going somewhere

You were going somewhere
