If DI were young again I'd pay Gattention, To that little known Ddimension, the taste of endless Atime. Just like Dwater, it runs right through my Gfingers, But the flavor of it Dlingers like a Arich red Dwine. In those Adays we were single, and we Dlived them one by one. ANow we hardly see 'em, they don't Gwalk, they Arun.
[Chorus]
But DI got plenty left I've set my Gsight on, Don't wait up leave the Dlight on, I'll Abe home Dsoon.
[Turnaround] D G D A D [Verse]
I Dnever seen my life in such a Ghurry, But if I start to Dworry, I get left Abehind. It's like a Dparty, but you don't get Ginvitations, And there's just one Ddestination, you better Abe on Dtime. Through Ayears of rhyming couplets, and we Dsang `em two by two. ANow we hardly rhyme at allG but here's a Afew:
[Chorus]
And Dif they hurt there's bullets left to Gbite on, Don't wait up leave the Dlight on, I'll Abe home Dsoon.
[Turnaround] D G D A D [Verse]
That Ddrummer in my head needs Ginspiration, There's a lack of syncoDpation, that holds me to a Aline. It's just so Dhard to leave these cages that we Gthink in, By stages we just Dsink in, to a Aslow deDcline. For Ayears we lived and waltzed the time, and we Ddanced three by three. ANow it's hard to dance but Gif you stick with Ame...
[Chorus]
DWe've got what we need to spend the Gnight on, Don't wait up leave the Dlight on, I'll Abe home Dsoon
[Solo] D G D A D/A A D G D A D [Verse]
These Draces that we've run were not for Gglory, No moral to the Dstory, we run for peace of Amind. But the Drace we're running now is never Gending, Since space and time upDending, there's Ano finish Dline. But I'll Alive to be a hundred, I was Dborn in forty-four, AThirty-nine to go but GI ain't keepin Ascore.
[Chorus]
DI've been left for dead before but I still Gfight on, Don't wait up leave the Dlight on, I'll Abe home Dsoon.
[Chorus]
I've been Dleft for dead before but I still Gfight on, Don't wait up leave the Dlight on, I'll Abe home Dsoon. (ritardando)
