Going Somewhere Soon

I saw a weathervane skyline,

sundial catches shadows on stone

marks time that has past.

A tree signed and dated "Until we meet again,"

These names of ours etched I visit again and again.

A gazing ball bounces this old light

and reflects it back up to the sky.

I move to catch the brightest rays

and not find this life just pass me on by.

Chorus:

Satellites bring distance into our lives

the roads we travel are fast and long

but they don't seem to connect us closer

You could compass the heavens

I'd still be gone

I'd still be gone.

Make amends and change direction

I can't remember when this life

didn't feel like such a crazy dream

To rise up so early in a pattern so deep

sleep remains a persistent memory

As shades block this new light

and reflects it back up to sky

I move to catch the brightest rays

and not find this life just pass me on by

Chorus:

Satellites bring distance into our lives

the roads we travel are fast and long

but they don't seem to connect us closer

You could compass the heavens

I'd still be gone

I'd still be gone.

Bridge:

I'm going somewhere,

I'm going somewhere soon.

I'm going somewhere,

I'm going somewhere soon.

Chorus:

Satellites bring distance into our lives

the roads we travel are fast and long

but they don't seem to connect us closer

You could compass the heavens

I'd still be gone

I'd still be gone.

I'll still be gone

Still be gone.
