I veer back through the waves of time
To the gods of steel and wine
What I see so clear today
Were the dreams of yours and mine
The lion prowls he will prevail
Yet fear can spoil the truest path
My dreams they lie, deceitful lies
I've no poem, no song, no lore
The tides are strange, they swell and break
They brought me here, my soul to ache
So hey Jimmy, let's go play over the hills and far away
So hey Jimmy, let's go play rollin' on another day
So hey Jimmy, let's go play that sweet sound from yesterday
So hey Jimmy, let's go play on your stairway
It's kinda sad to have one run
To think of what we could have done
Another place, a different crowd
The murmurs inside growing loud
It's no use, should have known
Can't tick tock like a metronome
Got no style, got no swagger
Got no rhythm, ain't no Jagger
So hey Jimmy, let's go play over the hills and far away
So hey Jimmy, let's go play rollin' on another day
So hey Jimmy, let's go play that sweet sound from yesterday
So hey Jimmy, let's go play on your stairway
I veer back through the waves of time
To the gods of steel and wine
What I see so clear today
Were the dreams of yesterday
