Bookmarks Lyrics by Big Big Train

The Likes Of Us

2024

Rising with the sun
Racing down that steep hill
Faster still
Out there as the night falls
Sneaking home to bed

Hiding in the long grass
Stealing sweets and
Sweetheart kisses
Late back home for tea-time
With keepsakes and dreams
Might-have-beens

One day we rode out
Side by side
For the last time
Nobody there
Knew we'd not
Ride together again

Some of us remained
We fashioned all our hopes into music
Then, running out of time
We moved along
Drifting far from sight
But held in place like circling satellites
Or bookmarks on a page
You can find once again
Stories and old friends

Turned more pages
Moved further along
Got our skates on
Found a new home
For our words
For our songs
For our hopes
Then late in the night
Came a storm
And the brightest star fell
And everything is gone now

Time is a river
The shore out of reach
Heading downstream
Where the water is too deep
Life is an ocean
I am lost out at sea
Looking for safe harbour
A light that's calling me
Out of the darkness
Out of the night
I knew you'd shine
Be there at my side
Riding to the rescue once again
My dear old friends
