"How Far Out"
"How Far Out"
Imagination running wild,
Far as you can dream
Guessing just how far out flying
Grinning sight unseen
Rambling over sunsets
Somewhere beyond the sea,
Floating in the warm winds,
Floating under me
I know these mornings are few and far between
Like gold coins jangling in faded blue jeans
When you see my smile and you know what I mean,
That once in a million so rarely seen
The simple moonlight running wild
Far as I can see
Guessing just how far out flying
The light that seems to be
Taking in a sunrise
Somewhere beyond today
Both jokers laughing madly
With nothing funny to say
And I wouldn’t be caught anywhere else,
Not sitting like a statue on a dime store shelf
Or tied down to a life too good for my health
My invisible empire and my invisible wealth
Now crazy people running wild
As far as I can see
Guessing just how far out flying
Is mystery to me
Laughing at each other
Always having fun
Laughing about nothing
The running never done
And I wouldn’t be caught dead anywhere else,
Not sitting like a statue on a dime store shelf
Or tied down to a life too good for my health
With my invisible empire and my invisible wealth,
I know these mornings are few and far between
Like gold coins jangling in faded blue jeans
When you see my smile, you know what I mean,
That once in a million that’s so rarely seen
And I wouldn’t be caught anyplace else,
Motionless as a trinket on a dime store shelf
When you see my smile and you know what I mean,
That once in a million almost never seen
------------
I doubt I am done editing that one, but so far, I like it, I have the basics worked out, jsut a few minor kinks and some poor language to fix. (Oh yeah, it was started in my Shakespeare class after I started daydreaming about the beach, and how little attachment I had for my environment. I like it, you of course do not have to, it used to be a free country...
