Lyrics
Just a burnt out dreamer with faded blue eyes
Spent so many years alone
And the art of conversation has been lost to solitude
Left to reap what was sewn
Somewhere in the past the remains of a dream
A voice that he can't escape
A moment etched in stone that's held him down
To the point it's now too late
And the stars begin to show themselves in that eastern sky
The sins of the past, they melt away and tonight he will fly
So much time unaccounted for, so many moments unlived
From the kitchen table through the old screen door
He watched his world unhinge
His body under siege by hours lived
Each day feels to be his last
Time cannot explain the bridges left to mend
The bones have been cast
And the stars begin to show themselves in that eastern sky
The sins of the past, they melt away and tonight he will fly
Now voices fill the room, hers cuts through them all
How it's been so long
It's just as sweet and can still tame the soul
All pain is gone
He tries to speak her name, it's trapped on his tongue
No words can escape his lips
It begins to fade away like a tracer in the night
Time it slips
And the stars begin to show themselves in that eastern sky
The sins of the past, they melt away and tonight he will fly
And the stars begin to show themselves in that eastern sky
The sins of the past, they melt away and tonight he will fly
Oh tonight he will fly
