Neal Morse - My New World lyrics

The place she called home was high on a hill Way up in a big house under the trees Day's in the sun she's seen by the river Reading a book, feeding her dreams Now she's a loner, now she's a stoner, no one can touch her ... He was the boy, the pride of his mother Stainless and shining, all heaven sent But then the country calls for a soldier And he went out to a foreign land When he returned faces look different At the end of innocence nothing's the same My new world was spinning me around And that was all that could be My new world was spinning me around And nothing's lost on memory My new world was spinning me around ... Hiked up to Woodstock, she got high in Frisco Summers of love, that child she was wild She had the need for total expression Painting and poetry filled up her mind Boy, he took pride in serving his country Went off to war no more than a child My new world was spinning me around And this is all that i've found My new world was spinning me around And time can be my enemy My new world was spinning me ... Now she's a loner, now she's a stoner, no one can touch her ... Out in the fields we met in the summer On a poetic island no past to recall Breaking like waves we flooded the moment Laughing at the perfectness of it all My new world waits patiently When living is lost in a memory My new world is ahead of me But sometimes I'm back where I used to be ... Then the fall ran away with our time Dissapointment struch so hard When he found out there was no "Lucky stars and stripes" They set it all on fire !!! While Jim and Janis got us higher "She's so freaky, she's so fine" Soldier, he can't get her off his mind Down the desert to the sea Leave the raving 60's all behind ... Out of the blue still reaching for something Feeling the window of time out of mind Catching a glimpse each one to the other Always not knowing the spark left behind Going and going with fictional borders Pa**ing two feet from the door My new world keeps spinning me around And this is all that can be My new world is ahead of me now This is all that I've found My new world keeps spinning me around My new world keeps spinning me And time is not my enemy My new world is ahead of me today And all things pa** away ...
