Two Shots Of Rye

Twenty Without A Wonder

Two Shots Of Rye


Now I'm twenty and what do I have to say 
I can repeat all that I am told 
So am I intellectual? 
When I'm forty will I look back and say, 
"I gave up life for a chance to be well known, and it's not about what you own." 

When I gain focus 
The outlines of my road will converge 
At a sunset I never foresaw 
I'll walk though blinded 
With so many hands to guide me on 

Walls are about to crumble 
For life has just begun 

Friends change their colors every fall 
Some wither never to return 
You can't fight time 
Oh, how I've tried 

Our lifelines are losing symmetry, 
But don't dwell on time not better spent, 
Question the self-evident 

When I gain focus 
The outlines of my road will converge 
At a sunset I never foresaw 
I'll walk though blinded 
With so many hands to guide me on 

Walls are about to crumble 
For life has just begun
