lyrics

THE POET written by DJANGO RUCKRICH

My fame is an echo of the evening sun

Now I’m where I was 10 years ago

A failed poet lying in the gutter

Thought I could be more now I don’t know



Five miles east of the sparkling river

Is a place I’ve never been and I never want to see

But if I have a shot at becoming something

It sure ain’t here where the wind can see right through me



Tomorrow already happened twice

My rain-washed clothes are falling off my back

Time is all I have but it’s running out

My words ain’t worth the cost of a paperback



A hazy shadow drifting through the crowd

Shone through the night like a note without a chord

As the fire flickered and the sparks that flew

Lit up her face well I grew bored



Tomorrow already happened twice

My rain-washed clothes are falling off my back

Time is all I have but it’s running out

My words ain’t worth the cost of a paperback



I slipped through the gate to the Court of Miracles

And I woke up 3 days later with the rising sunset

The blind man painted in the light of the burning rain

And the circle of thieves told me I was in their debt



Tomorrow already happened twice

My rain-washed clothes are falling off my back

Time is all I have but it’s running out

My words ain’t worth the cost of a paperback



The King said all my empty years just delay my death

If I’m trying to make them more well it’s not working

She was there as the daylight faded away

He turned his head and I ran to keep on searching



Tomorrow already happened twice

My rain-washed clothes are falling off my back

Time is all I have but it’s running out

My words ain’t worth the cost of a paperback..
