Tiberius Rising lyrics

Jimmy always was a restless boy
You could see it in his eyes
There was something wrong when I watched my son
When Jimmy watched the skies
And very often on an Iowa night
I`d see him standing in the yard
I can`t describe how I loved that boy
But Jimmy loved the stars
And I remember he`d make paper boats
They seemed to bring him peace of mind
And then one day he sailed away
Leaving me behind

CHORUS:
Singing, `Some day I`ll be going away
And I don`t know when I`m coming home
I`m leaving on a moonbeam
I`m sailing away on a star
I don`t think I`m ever coming home`

While all the other kids were flying kites
Jimmy was nowhere to be found
He coudln`t bear to see it ride the air
While he was on the ground
And though he always got along with the girls
I knew he`d never settle down
He had a date with a greater love
The first ship out of town
So if you see that boy of mine
Tell him I hope he`s doing well
And sometimes on a starry night
I swear that I can hear him still

CHORUS
