Lament to the Lost Days
The ocean's staring at me from the skyline
As I take my nightly walk at twilight
The last rays of light draw my shadow on the ground
And my heavy shoes are weighting me down
My time is running out
I once had so many high-flying dreams
Where did they go? They disappeared in front of me
I grew so old, I never looked back anymore
I put it all at the back of the drawer
And there it stayed
What could I be if I'd done everything I said?
Would you be with me if I'd been stronger there and then?
Did you get the life you always talked to me about?
I wish I could feel fine when this road comes to an end
But I'm by myself
I never read the book you told me I should
The pages slipped through my eyes, never made it into my mind
I should get a job so I could make a lot of money
Maybe I would get my life to go the way I want it, but I don't know
These things that mean something to me are not so complex
I hope my guitar stays with me and I have peace with myself
A simple thing can be so hard when you're inside out
I know in my heart I could've done it all right
But it's too late now
What could I be if I'd done everything I said?
Would you be with me if I'd been stronger there and then?
Did you get the life you always talked to me about?
I wish I could feel fine when this road comes to an end
But I'm by myself
As I take my nightly walk at twilight
The last rays of light draw my shadow on the ground
And my heavy shoes are weighting me down
My time is running out
I once had so many high-flying dreams
Where did they go? They disappeared in front of me
I grew so old, I never looked back anymore
I put it all at the back of the drawer
And there it stayed
What could I be if I'd done everything I said?
Would you be with me if I'd been stronger there and then?
Did you get the life you always talked to me about?
I wish I could feel fine when this road comes to an end
But I'm by myself
I never read the book you told me I should
The pages slipped through my eyes, never made it into my mind
I should get a job so I could make a lot of money
Maybe I would get my life to go the way I want it, but I don't know
These things that mean something to me are not so complex
I hope my guitar stays with me and I have peace with myself
A simple thing can be so hard when you're inside out
I know in my heart I could've done it all right
But it's too late now
What could I be if I'd done everything I said?
Would you be with me if I'd been stronger there and then?
Did you get the life you always talked to me about?
I wish I could feel fine when this road comes to an end
But I'm by myself
