Somewhere out in the darkness
A distant foggy shore
There was a place of solace
I can’t go back no more
I walk along these empty streets
My knees are getting weak
My pockets all are empty
I mumble when I speak
So I keep on rambling
No destination in my mind
There was a place where I knew peace
But I left it far behind
Now my mind is cloudy
I can’t remember yesterday
But the memories that hurt the most
Will never go away
No matter how many miles I walk
How many people I meet
I can’t put any distance
Between my memories and me
Now I stand before you
A shadow of what I once was
A cold and empty husk
Full of dreams that turned to dust
And in the lonely evenings
When I’m too tired to sleep
A memory of those days
Washes up from somewhere deep
And as I’m walking down that shore
Your warmth washes over my face
And just as I walk through that door
I awake in another place
