A 'Journey' song

lyrics

© & ℗ 2017 Craig Hallen Music
Written by Craig Hallen / Adam Dauphin

Well I packed a wish and hurled it into space
‘Cause mama told me wishes were a lie
But when you first came ‘round here with your Cinderella grin
I felt those empty words begin to die

So I packed a wish and buried it somewhere
Just to keep it sheltered from the rain
And after your devotion vanished like the summer haze
I dug it up and begged please explain, and it said -

Hear a lesson of the wise:
Dreams are a smoke and mirrors game
Love is not the same on every side
And happiness is only ever yesterday
Yeah, happiness is only ever yesterday

Well I packed a wish and drove across the world
‘Cause papa said it's all I'd ever need
But every mile I travelled felt like fifty thousand more
Without you on that empty vinyl seat

And as the heavens laughed at my disgrace
I shouldered all my destiny and turned
To find you waiting for me with your Cinderella grin
And armed with all the things I’d yet to learn, and you said -

Hear a lesson of the wise:
Dreams are a smoke and mirrors game
Love is not the same on every side
And happiness is only ever yesterday

Hear a lesson of the wise:
Those dreams are a smoke and mirrors game
Love is not the same on every side
And happiness is only ever yesterday
Yeah, happiness is only ever yesterday
