The Analog Kid

Rush · Icon 2 [2011]

A hot a windy August afternoon

Has the trees in constant motion

With a flash of silver leaves

As they're rockin' in the breeze.



The boy lies in the grass with

One blade stuck between his teeth

A vague sensation quickens in

His young and restless heart

And a bright and nameless vision

Has him longing to depart.



You move me, you move me

With your buildings and your eyes

Autumn woods and winter skies

You move me, you move me

Open sea and city lights

Busy streets and dizzy heights

You call me, you call me.



The fawn eyed girl with sun browned legs

Dances on the edge of his dreams

And the voices in his ears

Like the music of the spheres.



The boy lies in the grass unmoving

Staring at the sky

His mother starts to call him

As a hawk goes soaring by

And the boy throws down his baseball cap

And covers up his eye's.



You move me, you move me

With your buildings and your eyes

Autumn woods and winter skies

You move me, you move me

Open sea and city lights

Busy streets and dizzy heights

You call me, you call me.



Too many hands on my time

Too many feelings

Too many things on my mind.



When I leave I don't know

What I'm hoping to find

And when I leave I don't know

What I'm leaving behind.



Oh when I leave I don't know

What I'm hoping to find

And when I leave I don't know

What I'm leaving behind.
