Michael Beatty: Lyrics & Listen

When I was seven

I heard voices in the night

Calling out my name 

Across a shadowed hallway light

"Come on" they said

"Come away take an open hand...

And we'll travel to a dark and distant land"

 

Now I have seen the light of day

Through the darkness

And I have felt so far away

In the darkness

This wasn't supposed to happen

Will you take my hand

I'm an accidental tourist

In a dead man's land

 

A million lights were shining

Underneath my plane

Like a million broken hearts

That have been left out in the rain

Well I guess that I'm the lucky one

I have found my friend

Shouting love like rock n roll pretend

 

 

Now I have seen the light of day

Through the darkness

And I have felt so far away

In the darkness

This wasn't supposed to happen

Will you take my hand

I'm an accidental tourist

In a dead man's land

 

 

Black crows are in the field

My best defense is down

Cause I see the past like sorrow sleeping

All around this town

I need you to be here with me

I need to clear my mind

I've been ravaged by the cold effect of time

 

Now I have seen the light of day

Through the darkness

And I have felt so far away

In the darkness

This wasn't supposed to happen

Will you take my hand

I'm an accidental tourist

In a dead man's land
