Boomerang (tanner) Woke up thinking of her in a bad dream He thought she would come back someday But little did he know she knew him like a boomerang as it's tossed away I see you've noticed that the time has come too fast What would you do then to replace the time you've passed Took her kids to a fair on a Sunday Until Billy was gone she had no concerns It's been three years since her son has run away Guess a boomerang doesn't always return Cannot picture the ends to the means Your way my way is never what it seems If I traced your path to the seams I think you'd spin away So don't hold your breath and hope you lead a good life Don't follow the sheep with the clean hair-do Open your eyes, stand straight, and let your hands out like a boomerang as it comes back to you
