Hear your footfalls coming round But it doesn't do a whole lot to bring me down Golden sunrise above the trees Is not as sweet as when you're with me Rise and kick up the remedy But it doesn't have a whole lot to do with me A to PA to R to T is not what I want for you and me ♪ When I'm tired and I feel the darkness washing over me Stepchild would you give me something Hindsight is fright enough to make you understand The rising sand ♪ We're the field rats and run from hawks And we're gonna check our foodstock and change our locks If we stay here in little towns Life is just gonna bring us down ♪ Building up decent memories And we'll trust in 1's and 0's to make the sea Wind'll kick up the salty spray While I'll be waiting on vacation days ♪ When I'm tired and I feel the darkness washing over me Stepchild would you give me something Hindsight is fright enough to make you understand The rising sand ♪ It ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son.
