Places Afar
by O.P. Torfason
Let me ride away.
Where there's nothing but my stars
Where you can´t touch my dreams.
No matter where you are.
So let me ride away.
With nothing but my stars.
Where you can't touch my dreams.
No matter where you are.
They say times change.
They say it's change of tides.
They say it ain't strange.
The nation's at war.
At war with itself.
But we won't shed blood.
We at war with ourselves.
You see, the Dow went down.
And then we went down.
And when we went down
Seemed to me somehow.
That we somehow,
Should have seen that then.
Lost in a dream.
But we see that now.
We see that now.
But we still here.
They still here.
Our Dreams,
Still here
Winter and spring,
Summer and fall.
Sun and the stars.
Yeah, they still there.
All that we lost.
All that we miss.
All that we want.
All that we wish.
Still I am.
No will-i-ams.
And if I owe you friend.
Better bill me then.
So, let me ride away.
Where there's nothing but my stars.
Where you can't touch my dreams.
No matter where you are.
So let me ride away.
With nothing but my stars.
Where you can't touch my dreams.
No matter where you are.
They say times change.
They say it's change of tides.
They say it ain´t strange
They say that is life.
You never know how.
You never know why.
It´s never the same.
It's never the same.
We all play roles.
We all pay dues.
We all play games.
All play games.
But games must end.
and in the end.
Can we all win?
I play for the love.
I play for keeps.
I play for the tear.
But I will not weep.
But I can't smile.
I smile in the night.
Where no one sees.
And there I take flight.
I'm watching the tides.
I let it flow in.
Until it goes out.
There it goes again.
There it goes again.
Back to begin.
Circle of oceans.
I let it in.
So, let me ride away.
Where there's nothing but my stars.
Where you can't touch my dreams.
No matter where you are.
So let me ride away.
With nothing but my stars.
Where you can't touch my dreams.
No matter where you are.
But,
I won´t run.
I won´t play the fool.
So I walk slow.
'til the erind is done.
But where it ends.
And I know it will.
Is where it starts.
Starts back again.
So I can't stop.
And that's why I move.
I move on.
That's why I can't stop.
And that's why I move.
I move on.
Until I'm gone.

Last words first.
They say times change.
Change of the tides.
They say it ain't strange.
They say it ain't strange.
it's never the same.
and that's how it is.
So I must change.
So I must change.
I change with the times.
The tides must change.
I reach for the stars.
But to change the tides.
That change too soon.
After the sun.
I reach for the moon.
So, let me ride away.
Where there's nothing but my stars.
Where you can´t touch my dreams.
No matter where you are.
So let me ride away.
With nothing but my stars.
Where you can't touch my dreams.
No matter where you are.
