Going Somewhere Soon

I saw a weathervane skyline,
sundial catches shadows on stone
marks time that has past.
A tree signed and dated "Until we meet again,"
These names of ours etched I visit again and again.
A gazing ball bounces this old light
and reflects it back up to the sky.
I move to catch the brightest rays
and not find this life just pass me on by.

Chorus:
Satellites bring distance into our lives
the roads we travel are fast and long
but they don't seem to connect us closer
You could compass the heavens
I'd still be gone
I'd still be gone.

Make amends and change direction
I can't remember when this life
didn't feel like such a crazy dream
To rise up so early in a pattern so deep
sleep remains a persistent memory
As shades block this new light
and reflects it back up to sky
I move to catch the brightest rays
and not find this life just pass me on by

Chorus:
Satellites bring distance into our lives
the roads we travel are fast and long
but they don't seem to connect us closer
You could compass the heavens
I'd still be gone
I'd still be gone.

Bridge:
I'm going somewhere,
I'm going somewhere soon.
I'm going somewhere,
I'm going somewhere soon.

Chorus:
Satellites bring distance into our lives
the roads we travel are fast and long
but they don't seem to connect us closer
You could compass the heavens
I'd still be gone
I'd still be gone.

I'll still be gone
Still be gone.
