Lightfoot Gordon Race Among The Ruins Lyrics

Race Among The Ruins Lyrics

You think you had the last laugh

 Now you know this can't be true

 Even though the sun shines down upon you now

 Sometimes you must feel blue

 You make the best of each new day

 You try not to be sad

 Even though the sky falls down upon you

 Call it midnight feelin' bad

 

 When you wake up to the promise

 Of your dream world comin' true

 With one less friend to call on

 Was it someone that I knew

 Away you will go sailin'

 In a race among the ruins

 If you plan to face tomorrow

 Do it soon

 

 The road to love is littered

 By the bones of other ones

 Who by the magic of the moment

 Were mysteriously undone

 You try to understand it

 But you never seem to find

 Any kind of freedom comin' clean

 Is just another state of mind

 

 When you wake up to the promise

 Of your dream world comin' true

 With one less friend to call on

 Was it someone that I knew

 Away you will go sailin'

 In a race among the ruins

 If you plan to face tomorrow

 Do it soon

 

 So take the best of all that's left

 You know this cannot last

 Even though your mother was you maker

 >From her apron strings you pass

 Just think about the fool

 Who by his virtue can be found

 In a most unusual situation

 Playin' jester to the clown

 

 When you wake up to the promise

 Of your dream world comin' true

 With one less friend to call on

 Was it someone that I knew

 Away you will go sailin'

 In a race among the ruins

 If you plan to face tomorrow

 Do it soon

 

 When you wake up to the promise

 Of your dream world comin' true

 With one less friend to call on

 Was it someone that I knew

 Away you will go sailin'

 In a race among the ruins

 If you plan to face tomorrow

 Do it soon
