Satellite Dish

I've been on the outside looking in
I've been having doubts 'bout the shape that I'm in
And the clouds keep rolling over my head
Think I heard a whisper, was it something you said?

If I had a reason, I'd give it to you
If I had an old clock, I'd make it brand new
But the signs on the road aren't leading me home
I've got a life yet and it's hard to forget

But the feeling it turns
Like the world round the Sun
Your heart longs and yearns
But it won't last for long

Hear me when I say
It's better this way

You are a river on my fingertips
You're the silver gleam in a satellite dish
Your memory precedes you everywhere
You've got a lot of life yet so don't despair

And the feeling it turns
Like the world round the Sun
Your heart longs and years
But it won't last for long

Hear me when I say
It's better this way
