Now off you go horizon bound And you won't stop until you've found Your own kind of way. And the wind will whip your tousled hair, The sun, the rain, the sweet despair, Great tales of love and strife. And somewhere on your path to glory You will write your story of a life. And all the towns that you walk through And all the people that you talk to Sing you their songs. And there are times you change your stride, There are times you can't decide Still you go on. And then the young girls dance their gypsy tunes And share the secrets of the moon So soon you find a wife. And though she sees your dreams go poorly Still she joins your story of a life. So you settle down and the children come And you find a place that you come from. Your wandering is done. And all your dreams of open spaces You find in your children's faces One by one. And all the trips you know you missed And all the lips you never kissed Cut through you like a knife. And now you see stretched out before thee Just another story of a life. So what do you do now? When she looks at you now? You know those same old jokes all the jesters tell You tell them to her now. And all the same old songs all the minstrels sang You sing 'em to her now. But it don't matter anyhow 'Cause she knows by now. So every chance you take don't mean a thing. What variations can you bring To this shopworn melody. And every year goes by like a tollin' bell. It's battered merchandise you sell. Not well, she can see.-acapo Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The Shortest Story, The Story Of A Life, There Was Only One Choice, They Call Her Easy, Thirty Thousand Pounds Of Bananas, Thirty Tousand Pounds Of Bananas, Up On A Shelf, Up On the Shelf, Vacancy, W*O*L*D*, We Grew Up A Little Bit, We Were Three, What Made America Famous, Why Do Little Girls?, Why Should People Stay the Same, Winter Song, Wold, Woman Child, Word Wizard, You Are the Only Song, It Had To Be You, Promise Me Youll Remember, Autumn Serenade, Hes My Guy, Hes My Guy, I Cant Begin to Tell You, I Dont Want to Walk Without You, I Had the Craziest Dream, Ill Get By, Im Always Chasing Rainbows, Im Beginning to See the Light, Ive Heard That Song Before, Ill Buy That Dream, Ill Get By, Im Beginning To See The Light, Its Been a Long, Long Time, Mister Five by Five, Oh, But I Do!, One Dozen Roses, Sleepy Lagoon, This Is Always, I Had The Craziest Dream, Big Rock Candy Mountain, Big Rock Candy Mountains, In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, Fifty-Second Street, 1941, Alimony, Ambush, As I Wander Lonely, Other Harry Chapin song Lyrics 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas Lyrics A Better Place To Be Lyrics A Lot of Lonely People Tonight Lyrics A Quiet Little Love Affair Lyrics All My Lifes A Circle Lyrics And The Baby Never Cries Lyrics Anthem Lyrics Any Old Kind Of Day Lyrics Babysitter Lyrics Barefoot Boy Lyrics Basic Protest Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Harry Connick Lyrics Jr. Harry Connick Lyrics Harry James Lyrics Harry James Orchestra Lyrics Harry McClintock Lyrics Harry Mills Lyrics Harry Nilsson Lyrics Harry Potter Lyrics Harry Secombe Lyrics Harry Simeone Chorale Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
