Topaz City lyrics

Here I am on the run again Hopeful I can still win I press on and my wheels hum Taking me home again Taking me home again I have run here in triumph I've run here in retreat Took my first steps here thankfully And those days seemed so sweet Those days seemed so sweet Chorus: But it's all different in so many ways Changes hid in plain sight Busted windows, a dusty wind blows Topaz City tonight, Topaz City tonight As a child I was childlike In my teens naive Now as manhood settles in I still want to believe I still want to believe Chorus: But it's all different in so many ways Changes hid in plain sight Stranger's faces in my old places Topaz City tonight, Topaz City tonight Chorus 2: A weathered awning, an old dog yawning Topaz City tonight A run down beer joint, stop sign with no point Topaz City tonight, Topaz City tonight As a moon sheds it's shadow As a snake sheds it's skin Everything keeps right on changing Got to learn that again Got to learn that again Chorus: But it's all different in so many ways Changes hid in plain sight Mom's home-place gone, that just seems wrong Topaz City tonight Dad's chair empty, that still hits me Topaz City tonight, Topaz City tonight
