give my best to those i care for
with friends a simple nod will do
i bow to those who've come and gone before me
a handshake to the past
it gets me through
been a little bit good and a little bit sad
let the dirt and dust fall where it may
a distant thunder and it takes my breath away
tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
oh cover my tears
measured distance through the heartbeats
measured time holds all my beliefs
these shotgun visions are all i've ever lived with
a scattered mind from a reckless youth
i cover my ears
i cover my eyes
still all the fears
still heard the lies
a distant thunder and it takes my breath away
tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
oh cover my tears
took convention for a rough ride
a genius under glass set adrift
direction all but fading
like a kiss that leaves you floating in a trance
the rivers i cross the memories i keep
a minute to smile
forever to weep
a distant thunder and it takes my breath away
tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
oh cover my tears
a distand thunder
i feel like i'm slippin' under
tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
of all those times that i've turned and looked away
a thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
oh cover my tears
