lyrics by Harlan Blynn
Verse 1:
Sometimes I lay directly under the moon,
Put my bed in a field so nothing blocks my view
Of the heavens above all wrapped into one
When I think of my girl for land of the rising sun
Chorus:
Hurry up and wait
You can’t escape your fate
The sands of time blow true
They write the story of you
Verse 2:
With my footsteps in flames
I swim the ocean wide
Lured by tall green eyes by the other side
She says I’ll your name and wish you all good luck
Chorus:
Hurry up and wait
You can’t escape your fate
The sands of time blow true
They write the story of you
Verse 3:
With an iron will, a rooster never lacks
She was soft and supple with a spine built like railroad tracks
She says I got the steam for a thousand men or two
I do what I do so the sun will rise on you
Chorus:
Hurry up and wait
You can’t escape your fate
The sands of time blow true
They write the story of you
Verse 4:
A child called greatness whose fortune never folds
As fate will have it your face will never grow old
The roots of an oak push far from the sun
I can’t keep going if I’m already gone
