"On Being Frank" lyrics - BEN FOLDS FIVE

I had it all
Or should I say, "I saw it all?"
And it's a long way from the dustbin of New Jersey to the top
Who would have known?
Who would have known?

I had a dream
But dreams had other plans for me
For thirty years, I set the thermostat where Frank Sinatra liked it
Pulled his girls and hung his hats-I never knew which ones were mine
Now, he's gone
I'm alone

[Chorus:]
And I don't know where I might be going
I rode the wind; the wind stopped blowing
Set me on the roadside coming home
But home-
For me, was always someone else, you know?
That shadows always fall when the sun goes down

I shook the hands
Of Mafia dons and presidents
And though they always smiled politely with a measure of decorum
Still, their eyes would scan beyond me for a glimpse of something more
But now, he's gone
Now, they're gone

[Chorus:]
And I don't know where I might be going
I rode the wind; the wind stopped blowing
Set me on the roadside coming home
But home-
For me, was always someone else, you know?
That shadows always fall when the sun goes down

[Piano solo]

[Bridge:]
Alone
A shadow of a star
Don't you know?
That shadows always fall
Yeah, shadows always fall
When the sun goes down

[Chorus:]
And I don't know where I might be going
I rode the wind; the wind stopped blowing
Set me on the roadside coming home
And home- (Home)
For me, was always someone else, you know?

[Outro:]
(Home)
(Home)
(Home)
(Home)
