Race Among the Ruins - Gordon Lightfoot Lyrics


You think you had the last laugh now you know this can't be true

Even though the sun shines down upon you now

Sometimes you must feel blue

You make the best of each new day you try not to be sad

Even though the sky falls down upon you call it midnight feelin' bad



When you wake up to the promise of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on was it someone that I knew

Away you will go sailin' in a race among the ruins

If you plan to face tomorrow do it soon



The road to love is littered by the bones of other ones

Who by the magic of the moment were mysteriously undone

You try to understand it but you never seem to find

Any kind of freedom comin' clean is just another state of mind



When you wake up to the promise of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on was it someone that I knew

Away you will go sailin' in a race among the ruins

If you plan to face tomorrow do it soon



So take the best of all that's left you know this cannot last

Even though your mother was you maker from her apron strings you pass

Just think about the fool who by his virtue can be found

In a most unusual situation playin' jester to the clown



When you wake up to the promise of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on was it someone that I knew

Away you will go sailin' in a race among the ruins

If you plan to face tomorrow do it soon



When you wake up to the promise of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on was it someone that I knew

Away you will go sailin' in a race among the ruins

If you plan to face tomorrow do it soon
