Traveling Song

Oh, father time

That meter maid who lends one lively winking eye

We dance a borrowed jig while hiding from the fine

Oh, what I wouldn't spend to lend you mine, hmm

Nobody knows where they are going

Oh, how we try to wrap our minds

Over the edge of all our knowings

Be it a bang or the divine

Tip of my iceberg blues are showing

I've never been one for goodbyes

So, 'til I meet you there, I'm singing

A traveling song to ease the ride

And so you know, everywhere I roam

I'll see you on the road, ooh-ooh

Oh, I take it in vain

All the plans and moves that we made

Half a heart is aching to grow

Soulmates aren't just lovers, you know? I know, I know

Your eyes are the rain, just a soul that's changing in shape

I'll be laughing all of the way

Thinking 'bout the days, oh

Nobody knows where they are going

Oh, how we try to wrap our minds

Over the edge of all our knowings

Be it a bang or the divine

Tip of my iceberg blues are showing

I've never been one for goodbyes

So, 'til I meet you there, I'm singing

A traveling song to ease the ride

And so you know, everywhere I roam

I'll see you on the road

So farewell to my friend

He who taught me to love like a beast

And to feast like the queen that he fed turtle soup

Little boy from Paris to the States, check the facts

That was Magical Max

He was black sheep, and mischief, and love for his craft

Then he told me that I was Apollo 13

On that very last day, he said

"Shoot for your dreams, little girl, to the stars"

Well, I'm taking you with me

Now this one is ours and I know what you'd say

You'd say, "On with the show"

So on we go
