Traveling Song

Oh, father time
 That meter maid who lends one lively winking eye
 We dance a borrowed iig while hiding from the fine
 Oh, what I wouldn't spend to lend you mine, hmm
 Nobody knows where they are going
 Oh, how we try to wrap our minds
 Over the edge of all our knowings
 Be it a bang or the divine
 Tip of my iceberg blues are showing
 I've never been one for goodbyes
 So, 'til I meet you there, I'm singing
 A traveling song to ease the ride
 And so you know, everywhere I roam
 I'll see you on the road, ooh-ooh
 Oh, I take it in vain
 All the plans and moves that we made
 Half a heart is aching to grow
 Soulmates aren't just lovers, you know? I know, I know
 Your eyes are the rain, just a soul that's changin' in shape
 I'll be laughin' all of the way
 Thinkin' 'bout the days, oh
 Nobody knows where they are going
 Oh, how we try to wrap our minds
 Over the edge of all our knowings
 Be it a bang or the divine
 Tip of my iceberg blues are showing
 I've never been one for goodbyes
 So, 'til I meet you there, I'm singing
 A traveling song to ease the ride
 And so you know, everywhere I roam
 I'll see you on the road
 So farewell to my friend
 He who taught me to love like a beast
 And to feast like the queen that he fed turtle soup
 Little boy from Paris to the States, check the facts
 That was Magical Max
 He was black sheep and mischief and love for his craft
 Then he told me that I was Apollo 13
 On that very last day, he said
 "Shoot for your dreams, little girl, to the stars"
 Well, I'm taking you with me
 Now this one is ours and I know what you'd say
 you'd say "On with the show"
 So on we go
