Tiberius Rising Lyrics - Ookla The Mok

Jimmy always was a restless boy 

You could see it in his eyes 

There was something wrong when I watched my son 

When Jimmy watched the skies 

And very often on an Iowa night 

I'd see him standing in the yard 

I can't describe how I loved that boy 

But Jimmy loved the stars 

And I remember he'd make paper boats 

They seemed to bring him peace of mind 

And then one day he sailed away 

Leaving me behind 

CHORUS: 

Singing, "Some day I'll be going away 

And I don't know when I'm coming home 

I'm leaving on a moonbeam 

I'm sailing away on a star 

I don't think I'm ever coming home" 

While all the other kids were flying kites 

Jimmy was nowhere to be found 

He coudln't bear to see it ride the air 

While he was on the ground 

And though he always got along with the girls 

I knew he'd never settle down 

He had a date with a greater love 

The first ship out of town 

So if you see that boy of mine 

Tell him I hope he's doing well 

And sometimes on a starry night 

I swear that I can hear him still 

CHORUS
