Patio Song (Peel Back The Years)


Fight the good fight, dream the good dream
All that you see cannot be as it seems
And ties that find you can be ties that bind you
May not be for you, may not be for me
All that you see cannot be as it seems
And ties that find you can be ties that blind you
May not be for you, may not be for me
All that you see cannot be as it seems…

Take a step out, a night on the patio
Where a million points of light are waiting to travel
And old familiar songs on the radio
A billion mysteries there to unravel

Peel back the years, reel back the years
Never mind the night is growing cold
I wish the truth could be told

A year within, a year without another reason to scream and shout
And you feel foolish reaching for it all
A memory come, a moment past, another reason time won’t last
And you stand naked waiting for the call

Peel back the years, reel back the years
Never mind the night is growing cold
I wish the truth could be told
I wish the truth…

(Break)

Another death, another birth, another chance to prove your worth
An ancient yearning common to us all
A lifetime well, a lifetime spent, I wonder where the minutes went
And I stand naked waiting for the call

Peel back the years, reel back the years
Never mind the night is growing cold
I wish the truth could be told

I wish the truth could be told…

Fight the good fight, dream the good dream
All that you see cannot be as it seems….
