Well this life's stretched out before me
The highway shimmering with stars
The knowing glances of the runaways
That never made it this farI can't believe she said that we can work it out
And I thought that we were near the end
Gone are the days, all the trouble and the doubt
This is far from over my friendMy lover's name is Music
And she's held my heart so long
Tethered and pulling at the chains of disregard
What if all of this is wrongI can't believe she said that we can work it out
I thought that we were near the end
Gone are the days, all the trouble and the doubt
This is far from over my friendAnd we throw our prayers up skyward
Hoping anyone will hear
From Storyville to Broadway
This soul won't disappear, noWell I heard that boy in Memphis
Playing memories and dreams
The ghost of miracles played upon the stage
And then vanishing like steamI can't believe she said that we can work it out
And I thought that we were near the end, near the end
Gone are the days, all the trouble and the doubt
This is far from over, far from over my friend, my friend
