An Inside Joke With Myself

So what happened on the day
a letter came in the mail
telling me "your green card expired
you must go to the nearest train rail"
so i left the place id come to love
and the only people that loved me
and im not ashamed to admit
i cried while we flew though the trees

Chorus
Time
Passing on
Moving backwards
I'm leaving here
moving away
to where i belong
so sing me a song i've never heard before
and i believe i'll find my way back someday

Glory to the coming sun
hitting the morning mist
trees are covered in golden light
my face is sun kissed
night falls away in red hues
silver and gold bring day on
sleeping people waking up
i'm already out before the first light of dawn

Chorus

By the night time sky
Stars shine brightly for me
And the milky moon
Through the forest trees
Shining eyes in the darkness
Seeing farther than me
Panther lopes across the field
Climbing up the nearest tree

Chorus

Sunset hits me like a rock
Falling from the darkening sky
Scarlet in red, streak orange and yellow clouds
Changing beauty to my eye
and the sunset carries on
shining over water pure
and the daylight fades away
making sunset more mature

Chorus

Back to the day when peace reined
no thought of leaving crossed my mind
playing in the suns afternoon rays
back to my last day that was kind
