Rocky (4 Track Demo, 1993) Lyrics

We were in a park
I could jump so far
Seems like all I'd ever done
Was smoking pot out in the car
And this figure faded in
From the departees of my old school

He says "Ben
We both know you're asleep
I've been running through these fields
It's such a lovely place you dream
Is it your imagination?
It's been years since I've been on my feet"

Now it's Rocky's day
Send his soul on it's way
The sun won't be coming out
Yeah it's Rocky's day
And it's time he went way
The sun won't be coming out today

I recall
But I don't know who
Told me Rocky was a runner
Won a medal back in school
Now at Christmas momma says
"You go up with me to Rocky's room"
, As we watched the sun go down
He thanks me for my dreams
He said "I know you think you are
But you're not completely free
The man who's seen a spectre of
Departure is completely free"

Now it's Rocky's day
Send his soul on it's way
The sun won't be coming out today
Yeah it's Rocky's day
Send his soul on it's way
The sun won't be coming out today

Then he smiled
And he turned and walked away
He said over his shoulder
"I'll be gone when you're awake
