Lost Highway

I can hear voices ringing,
Far off in the distance,
I can hear the singing,
Calling me away.

But I can’t see,
I’m blindly reaching,
And I have no idea,
What’s waiting for me.

The waking sun,
Burns so brightly,
But then it’s gone,
It’s darker than before.

These careful footsteps,
Lost on the highway,
Every road before me,
Leads me further from home.

So desperate and tired,
I stumble and fall,
Wandering through days,
That meant nothing at all.

And I can’t know,
What I think at this moment,
Each new day,
Is a new life for me.

Time rushes by,
It’s relentless and it’s certain,
It steals all the things,
The things I believe.

Time rushes by,
With pain and with purpose,
Washing off the blood,
But leaving the stains.

Time rushes by,
We forget all our sorrow,
But keep all the scars,
And tomorrow make more.

Time rushes by,
Like sand through my fingers,
Like shadows slowly stalking,
And they won’t let me be.

So desperate and tired,
I stumble and fall,
Wandering through days,
That meant nothing at all.

And I can’t know,
What I think at this moment,
Each new day,
Is a new life for me.

So desperate and tired,
I stumble and fall,
Wandering through days,
That meant nothing at all.

And I can’t know,
What I think at this moment,
Each new day,
Is a new life for me.
