D5So as you push off from the sDhore D2-4 A2-4 won't you turn your head once more D2-4 and make your peace with everyone
D5for those who choose to stDay D2-4 A2-4 will live just one more day D2-4 to do the things they should've done
Gand as you cross the wilderness susApended in your emptiness D2-4 you feel you have to pray
Glooking for a sign that the F2universal mind as D2-4 A2-4 written you into their passion play
[chorus] and as you cross the circle line while the iceworld sheets behind (lyrics fuzzy here') you're a rabbit on the run and the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye shining in the setting sun well do you ever get the feeling that the stories do their reeling in the present tense or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience [chorus] skating away skating away skating away -end
