Holiday

One of these days
 When we're lost at sea
 I'll declare a holiday for you and me
 And on that day
 After we've returned
 We can light a candle for each bridge that's burned
 Somebody's reaching for the keys
 Watching the long hand
 Trying to keep it straight while the walls are closing in
 Somebody's drifting in the sea
 Feeling a strong wind
 That blows away all the pain
 But you know it's only a holiday
 One of these days
 While it's on your mind
 You can say a prayer for all those souls you left behind
 And on that day
 Underneath the sun
 You can say "I told you so" to everyone
 Somebody's reaching for the keys
 Watching the long hand
 Trying to keep it straight while the walls are closing in
 Somebody's drifting in the sea
 Feeling a strong wind
 That blows away all the pain
 But you know it's only a holiday
 Keep pushing the world away
 And nobody will ever know
 How many years it takes to lose, find and sell a troubled soul
 Throw all your notes away
 So no one will ever know
 Why you waste every day
 Making plans for holiday if you never get the chance to go
 Somebody's reaching for the keys
 Watching the long hand
 Trying to keep it straight while the walls are closing in
 Somebody's drifting in the sea
 Feeling a strong wind
 That blows away all the pain
 But you know it's only a holiday
