Thirty Years Lyrics - U.k. - Uk

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime 

That left your girl like shadows from the sun 

Run into traces of faces you thought you saw 

But never seemed to mean much more 

Than echoes of a day gone by 

When someone else would have to try 

To light the stars in your sky 

All the things you planned 

Just sand castles washed 

Away on tidal waves of tears 

The fears overpowering 

Your complex dreams just slither down 

Drowning in rocky pools 

Or smashed and dashed on peril's course 

Divorcing prematurely thoughts of lasting love 

In your life 

Sometime when you've time to spare 

Dreaming of missed opportunities 

Spare a tear and douse your bridge 

(Burning) 

Thirty years and on the ledge 

(Learning) 

All the things you planned, fading 

Thirty years in bed waiting 

All the things you planned fading 

Thirty years in bed waiting 

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime 

That left your girl like shadows from the sun 

Run into traces of faces you thought you saw 

But never seemed to mean much more 

Than echoes of a day gone by 

When someone else would have to try 

To light the stars in your sky, your dark sky
