Victoria Sage - Jack Bruce

Lost streets where sun once watched

Us out on the road

We had to leave our place to seek

The town where money never frowned…

We waited longest

When the trains and buses

Promised they would come

To the shelters made of snow

In the deserts where we played

Made of hay…

Ten pieces of sun for you

And for you only two

Take care not to grow so fast

You’re into the past

In time you will lose them all

Sooner if you fall

In markets that offer stars

No care for the stars

Now/when the time is so ripe

Then/in the twinkling of an eye

Gone/in the drains of a world

Victoria Sage wears out rage

Ten fallings in love for you

And for you only two

Take care not to love too much

You might like the touch

Spring beckons you leave it all

Now you have grown tall

Gold pavements on different stars

Watch out for the cars

Ten pieces of sun for you

And for you only two

Take care not to grow so fast

You’re into the past

In time you will spend them all

Sooner if you fall

In markets that offer stars

No cure for the scars

Now/when the time is so ripe

Then/in the twinkling of an eye

Gone/in the drains of a world

Victoria Sage wears out rage
