Holiday

One of these days
    When we're lost at sea
    I'll declare a holiday for you and me

    And on that day
    After we've returned
    We can light a candle for each bridge that's burned

    Somebody's reaching for the keys
    Watching the long hand
    Trying to keep it straight while the walls are closing in

    Somebody's drifting in the sea
    Feeling a strong wind
    That blows away all the pain
    But you know it's only a holiday

    One of these days
    While it's on your mind
    You can say a prayer for all those souls you left behind

    And on that day
    Underneath the sun
    You can say "I told you so" to everyone

    Somebody's reaching for the keys
    Watching the long hand
    Trying to keep it straight while the walls are closing in

    Somebody's drifting in the sea
    Feeling a strong wind
    That blows away all the pain
    But you know it's only a holiday

    Keep pushing the world away
    And nobody will ever know
    How many years it takes to lose, find and sell a troubled soul

    Throw all your notes away
    So no one will ever know
    Why you waste every day
    Making plans for holiday if you never get the chance to go

    Somebody's reaching for the keys
    Watching the long hand
    Trying to keep it straight while the walls are closing in

    Somebody's drifting in the sea
    Feeling a strong wind
    That blows away all the pain
    But you know it's only a holiday
