By The Wayside

By The Wayside - Dee Carstensen/Marc Shulman/Tony Levin

Your life waves like a banner

Flapping in the wind

Too proud to take it down

You've never brought it in

You could have mended every hole

With just a touch of grace

But you leave your answers

In a cloud of dust behind your race

By the wayside

Friends and lovers you've discarded

By the wayside

By the wayside

Gallant plans disregarded

By the wayside

By the wayside

Pieces to your puzzled soul

By the wayside

By the wayside

They'll scatter to the wind or make you whole

You train your fear like muscle

Poised to take you far

But it's not long before you look back

And wonder who you are

You'll dream of faces you have loved

And all they had to teach

Unwillingly angels hiding

Well within your reach

By the wayside

Stopping on that rare occasion

By the wayside

By the wayside

Staring into your salvation

By the wayside

By the wayside

Are pieces to your puzzled soul

By the wayside

By the wayside

They'll scatter to the wind

Or make you whole

By the wayside

Stopping on that rare occasion

By the wayside

Staring into your salvation

By the wayside

By the wayside

Are pieces to your puzzled soul

By the wayside

By the wayside

They'll scatter to the wind

Or make you whole
