One of these days   When we're lost at sea   I'll declare a holiday for you and me      And on that day   When we've returned   We can light a candle for each bridge that's burned      Cause somebody's reaching for the keys   Watching the long hand   Trying to keep it straight   While the walls are caving in      Somebody's drifting in the sea   Feeling a strong wind   That blows away all the pain   But you know it's only a holiday      One of these days   While it's on your mind   You can say a prayer for all the souls you left behind      And on that day   Underneath the sun   You can say "I told you so" to everyone      Somebody's reaching for the keys   Watching the long hand   Trying to keep it straight   While the walls are closing in      Somebody's drifting in the sea   Feeling a strong wind   That blows away all the pain   But you know it's only a holiday      Keep pushing the world away   And no one will ever know   How many years it takes   To lose, find, and sell a troubled soul      Throw all your notes away   So no one will ever know   Why you waste every day   Making plans for a holiday   If you never get the chance to go      Somebody's reaching for the keys   Watching the long hand   Trying to keep it straight   While the walls are caving in       Somebody's drifting in the sea   Feeling a strong wind   That blows away all the pain   But you know it's only a holiday
