Countin' Down The Days
I sat outside one afternoon
In an old lawn chair
And I watched the sun set off
For business west somewhere
While the sky turned watercolor fine
And gold and blue
And the stars all showed up one by one
And we waited for the moon
And I thought ‘bout you and I wondered why
It took so long to say goodbye
You shined so bright you blinded me
And left me so I couldn’t see
(CHORUS)
I was the moon chasing the sun
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
No matter how fast I would run
Like the moon
In an old lawn chair
And I watched the sun set off
For business west somewhere
While the sky turned watercolor fine
And gold and blue
And the stars all showed up one by one
And we waited for the moon
And I thought ‘bout you and I wondered why
It took so long to say goodbye
You shined so bright you blinded me
And left me so I couldn’t see
(CHORUS)
I was the moon chasing the sun
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
No matter how fast I would run
Like the moon
Strange World
(Steve Harris)
The only place where you can dream, living here is not what it seems.
Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why.
Here I am, I'm not really there, smiling faces ever so rare.
A let's walk in deepest space, living here just isn't the place.
Stalks of light come from the ground, when I cry there isn't a sound.
All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world.
Shades of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine.
A look at love, a dream unfolds, living here, you'll never grow old.
Don't you hear me call? Ooh
