From the recording Turnaround
Lyrics
I look around me and all I see
Shadows in the mist - my eyes are failing me
I listen closely and all I hear
Muffled sounds in the background – whispering in my ear
I reach out to touch it - hold it in my hand
But it slips through my fingers - like grains of sand
I try to remember - try to hold on
But it keeps escaping me - hiding under bush and log
No one promised me an easy ride
I take these moments given and survive
No one who follows an honorable road
Escapes from carrying that heavy load
I try to socialize - try to be clear
But my words don't come out right – there's too much chaos in the air
But everything is peaceful when I look into your eyes
Sounds of angels materialize
I wish I could promise you an easy ride
It sounds so sweet but it would be a lie
No one who follows an honorable road
Escapes from carrying that heavy load
No one promised us a simple life
