The cool night soothes my tired face with a healing hand
Is that a blessing or a curse
that carries the weights of man
The heartache of a sleeping world
distorted by all the noise of time

Oh in this complicated life of mine
I always feel I'm in decline
Coincidence a dream that's a mystery

So I plow myself beneath a tree
I watch the ocean peel away my dreams
By? the killing me

It's not what I thought life would turn out to be
Oh when I was 17 I was living the dream
It's not what I thought life was going to be

Oh therе's no conflict character no point
No drummers only does a joint
Thе pilgrims all in progress
cause they were ahead of the time

All this troubled summer I should try
To catch the moon beam while I'm riding high

Oh so I tried to hold the conversation
With a man we occupied by visions
Of river banks I give it … for history
See upcoming rock shows

I'm walking with my head in my hands
It's just I'm old that I look all the still

These dream all they trouble me
That's not what I thought life would turn out to be oh
When I was 17 I was living the dream
It's not why thought my life would turn out to be, no

Oh I'm living the dream and it's killing me
It's not what I thought life would turn out to be
Living the dream and it's killing me

Oh now to be oh now I'm living the dream
Hey what you're doing with me
That's not how I thought life would turn out to be

Oh in this complicated life of mine
I always feel I'm in decline
Oh
