Jared’s Song — Thousand Island Sun
You worked so hard to get to where you are
Yesterday, yesterday
You had it all, you threw it all away
Away, to the wind
Oh I wish I could say that I don’t understand
But my brother I’m afraid I’m no wiser man
You were your own man, you owned it every damn night
Was it meaningful?
A lost dream in your head or a dream come true instead
Which is worse, which is more terrible?
Oh I wish I could say that I don’t understand
But my brother I’m afraid I’m no wiser man
Do you walk on lonely isles underneath the stars?
A lonely woman and child to wonder where you are
Do your eyes scan the horizon of an eternal twilight sea?
Your spirit, my dear brother, was not yours to free
Oh I can say that I understand
At the end of the day it’s all just grains of sand
