lyrics

GIDEON GRAY

Gideon Gray, there is no going back, now
And why should you wonder at where you are?
Oh, you wrote the play, so don’t overact, now
And try to remember that there isn’t a star
Up on the tightrope, between Mercury and Mars

Maybe you’ll find a new line for an old role
Maybe you’ll find it rough
And maybe you’re thinking, maybe enough is enough

Gideon Gray, if you’re not painting portraits
Why should you worry as if you are?
Oh, it’s not your way - to be handing out forfeits
Mistaking your fortunes for doors you left ajar
And try to remember that there isn’t a star
Up on the tightrope, between Mercury and Mars

Maybe you’ll find a new line for an old role
Maybe you’ll find it rough
And maybe you’re thinking, maybe enough is enough

You can start at the start with your heart in your hand
And do more than your part, ’til the part is the plan
If the horse pulled the cart, but the cart overran
Can you just start over?

Gideon Gray, of the rarified refrain
Why should serenity come so hard?
Oh, when you start your day alone in the bike lane
You never remember you ever could’ve been so scarred
