Rooftops

I was oh so far from home
Waiting for the dawn
Wandering around these city streets alone
All the faces look the same
No-one knows my name
Spending mornings, hating what I know
I’ve been awake for so long
What am I running from?
This journey leading me to come back home
They say, when the rain has been
The grass’ll turn to green
The darkest time is just before the dawn
Remember watching the sun rising over rooftops in the morning
Waking up, stepping out into the cool
Remember watching the sun rising over oceans in the morning
(?) are coming down and we’re alone
And all the boys’ll be back home
Getting rowdy at the bar
Arguing about the game that they just saw
And all the little things that change
Some things stay the same
Seem significant, from a distant shore
So I am back here once again
On this journey to the end
Faded is the ever-searching soul
Now the children of our own
Play the games that we have known
Our kingdoms are the seeds that we have sown
Remember watching the sun rising over rooftops in the morning
Waking up, stepping out into the cool
Remember watching the sun rising over oceans in the morning
(?) are coming down and we’re alone
Now the children of our own
Play the games that we have known
Our kingdoms are the seeds that we have sown
Remember watching the sun rising over rooftops in the morning
Waking up, stepping out into the cool
Remember watching the sun rising over oceans in the morning
(?) are coming down and we’re alone
