Title in Progress

March 21, 2014

Turning inside and out

You keep on turning

And your head's going round

The cars rush outside your house

They keep on moving

And never slow down

But you stay still cause you don't see

That's what they want you to be

 

Did you lose the faith, the love, the soul?

Did they send us down that dusty road?

When they took your heart and dreams away

When they stole the dawn and cursed the day

What did they make you say?

 

Times up on the world now

Oh yeah times up

And we keep heading down

You used to like it

When we used to dance

And now your smile

Can't be caught at a glance

And you don't know 

They'll never let you go

 

Did ou lose the faith, the love, the soul?

Did you send us down that dusty road?

When they took your heart and dreams away

When they stole the dawn and cursed the day

What did they make you say?

 

And all night you sit aloneby the window

And all day you push it down so low

But you don't see, no you don't see

That's what they want you to be

 

Did you lose the faith, the love, the soul?

Did they send us down that dusty road?

When they took your heart and dreams away

When they stole the dawn and cursed the day

What did they make you say?

 

And you should know

They'll never let you go
