Somewhere further in the distance,
Underneath a different sky,
He bows his head in guilt and sadness
As he lets his dreams go by.
And he feels he isn't worth it,
When all he wanted was to feel
Like a man that could keep taking
All the hearts that he could steal.
But his dreams could take him nowhere
And he knew before he dreamed.
Still, wish and hope fed his desire
But its running out of steam.
How he kept his bag of marbles!
Promising to make them pearls.
Now he sees those precious baubles
Scattering down the bustling streets
Somewhere further in the distance,
Underneath a different sky,
He bows his head in guilt and sadness
As he lets his dreams go by.
And he feels he isn't worth it,
When all he wanted was to feel
Like a man that could keep taking
All the hearts that he could steal.
But his dreams could take him nowhere
And he knew before he dreamed.
Still, wish and hope fed his desire
But its running out of steam.
How he kept his bag of marbles!
Promising to make them pearls.
Now he sees those precious baubles
