Ghost Bikes

I'm leaving home the day after tomorrow in the night Cause it might just be about that time when moving on feels right So I'll hop up on the magic carpet and mosey down the line To distract me from this life I'm in feeling less and less like mine My dream's to make an honest living, doing something that I love Is that too much to ask? I see the end that's in this river, looking like a dam Can I take off this mask? Went to see about a girl, what feels like years ago I thought the words she spoke to me were something I could know But she couldn't hear my words unless she saw them pass my lips And now I think we're destined to just be two passing ships My dream's to make an honest living doing something that I love Is that too much to ask? I see the end that's in this river, looking like a dam Can I take off this mask? They put his headstone on a highway sign Don't know how I felt, I'm just glad it wasn't mine If I find myself at the end of this conveyor belt All I know, is I'll have this song to show me how I felt Remember what you said down by those railroad tracks? Seems I've gone and come and need you to remind me of the facts Cause of course I lost my way when there was one path left to take I just need someone to tell me I've got time for heaven's sake My dream's to make an honest living doing something that I love Is that too much to ask? I see the end that's in this river, looking like a dam Can I take off this mask?
