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
