Coachman Rocks - Time Slips Away Lyrics

Staring at the city lights broken dreams
Dusty roads and empty nights it seems
No direction in this maze life leaves
Searching shadows for some peace

Railroad tracks and rusty signs of past
Echoes in the wind memories they cast
Lost in the haze of days that flew fast
Hitch a ride on fate that never lasts

Time slips away like sand in your hand
Fading dreams in this forsaken land
Chasing ghosts that we can't understand
Time slips away won't heed our command

Bars full of strangers eyes vacant cold
Stories traded but none left to be told
Guitar strings and heartaches growing old
Circles in the dark these lives unfold

Whispers in the night of what was meant
Promises broken hope we spent
Bittersweet nights under moonlight bent
Questioning where all our time went

Faded photographs scattered on the floor
Reflections of a life we once swore
Endless miles these boots have worn
Wondering why we were ever born
