So Much

Lyrics
So much unfinished business All sticking with desire Raking through the empty shells Of all the rockets we fired Set the navigation For the Earth all warm and wet As the longing drops away The compass is reset Oh, there's so much to aim for You can shoot right at the sun And all of it just comes and goes There's only so much can be done Time slips in the mirror As an old man, I was born And I've grown to be a baby With a halo and a horn Burned like a lightning bolt All gone within a flash You look around to find a home Where the asteroid will crush Oh, there's so much to live for So much left to give This edition is limited There's only so much can be done Hm-hm, hm-hm Hm-hm, hm-hm The body stiffens, tires and weakens In its wrinkled blanched skin With each decade, more camouflage From the wide-eyed child within Now close your eyes for a moment Look down and look above All the warmth inside of you Comes from those you love Oh, there's so much to live for So much left to give This edition is limited There's only so much can be done So much to aim for Shooting up by the sun When it all comes and goes There's only so much can be done So much can be done Only so much can be done
