0:07A break in the clouds is a break in my day
0:12Face the sun of my salvation
0:19As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own fate
0:24Fly by the wings of your creation
0:30On the top of your head there is a poem
0:33The thought in my head oh god only knows
0:37As everything else will disappoint you
0:43I used to be young and bold but now I'm afraid I'm getting so old
0:49I follow delight to the city of roses
1:06It's a little known fact that I can't cope
1:12I'm the champion of repression
1:19I've had it enough with the east coast
1:24I'll die by the wings of my ambition
1:31The city I left the city of throes
1:34The one that I loved the city of hope
1:37As everything else will disappoint you
1:43I used to be young and bold but now
1:46I'm of age I'm getting so old
1:49I follow delight to the city of roses
1:55A break in the clouds is a break in my day
A break in the clouds is a break in my day Face the sun of my salvation As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own fate Fly by the wings of your creation On the top of your head there is a poem The thought in my head oh god only knows As everything else will disappoint you I used to be young and bold but now I'm afraid I'm getting so old I follow delight to the city of roses It's a little known fact that I can't cope I'm the champion of repression I've had it enough with the east coast I'll die by the wings of my ambition The city I left the city of throes The one that I loved the city of hope As everything else will disappoint you I used to be young and bold but now I'm of age I'm getting so old I follow delight to the city of roses A break in the clouds is a break in my day
