"Thirty Years" lyrics - U.K.

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
