A song about seeing change right around the bend, yet around the bend could still be thousands of miles away.
Completely retooled and rebuilt from the ashes of the "I'm A Bird" sessions.
lyrics
someday soon
My ears will pop
i will hear you loud and clear
And all that noise will stop
I'll let it all go
If only for a second
i’ll hear the truth in stereo
Pray time is a boomerang
Waste it all at once
Hope it comes back
Like all the money I was told that time was
Let it all go
nothing but time to throw away with you
I got nothing but time,
nothing but time till you come through
Oh now don’t you fade away
Like a wave in the rear view mirror
Small and getting smaller
Turning a corner then you disappear
Running from love out in the empty frontier
There in the static
like a police scanner in the wind
Like a ghost in a hallway
In the way back when
Over the mountainside
Right around the bend
I swear I heard you once before
I’ll hear you again
Oh now don’t you fade away
Like a wave in the rear view mirror
Small and getting smaller
Turning a corner then you disappear
Running from love out here in the empty frontier
Don't wanna run away from love no more
Don’t wanna be a runaway no more
someday soon
My ears will pop
i will hear you loud and clear
And all that noise will stop
I will let it go
