One of these days
When we're lost at sea
I'll declare a holiday for you and me
And on that day
When we've returned
We can light a candle for each bridge that's burned
Cause somebody's reaching for the keys
Watching the long hand
Trying to keep it straight
While the walls are caving in
Somebody's drifting in the sea
Feeling a strong wind
That blows away all the pain
But you know it's only a holiday
One of these days
While it's on your mind
You can say a prayer for all the souls you left behind
And on that day
Underneath the sun
You can say "I told you so" to everyone
Somebody's reaching for the keys
Watching the long hand
Trying to keep it straight
While the walls are closing in
Somebody's drifting in the sea
Feeling a strong wind
That blows away all the pain
But you know it's only a holiday
Keep pushing the world away
And no one will ever know
How many years it takes
To lose, find, and sell a troubled soul
Throw all your notes away
So no one will ever know
Why you waste every day
Making plans for a holiday
If you never get the chance to go
Somebody's reaching for the keys
Watching the long hand
Trying to keep it straight
While the walls are caving in
Somebody's drifting in the sea
Feeling a strong wind
That blows away all the pain
But you know it's only a holiday
