lyrics

Empty mansions in the hills
worn out wood and unpaid bills
stack my dreams up by the door
you've got tomorrow
but I need more

Spiral rings of mystery
sunlight rains down through the trees
I'm driving past and I'm going slow
where this leads
I do not know

Hey, this is not our day
this is not today
this is not the way things used to be
This is not our time
this is not our place
this is not the road we used to take
We can only hope
we can only dream
we can only dwell in empty mansions of our soul

Looking out your kitchen door
morning sun falls cross your floor
out on the road lights are turning red
so much you feel is left unsaid
