30 Years

Covering the tracks You're wearing out the path Follow but never lead Tracing over lines To blame for sleepless nights With no clue what they mean Those hopes and fears Fell on deaf ears Sold cheap, obsolete For thirty years So over exposed Expectations imposed For dubious reward Don't value the stream But when watching the sea Cry it's steep at the shore Those hopes and fears Fell on deaf ears Sold cheap, obsolete For thirty years All they want to see Is plundered history From a rose-tinted past It's low-hanging fruit On a tree with deep roots Write the future from scratch Those hopes and fears Fell on deaf ears Sold cheap, obsolete For thirty years
