Had to keep on till a line went empty

Had to keep on till it came on wide

Keep on burnin' when the fire was dying

Till I burn it down...

I been a lookin' on the dark side

I don't know what I've thought I could find

Now there's a stranger in the mirror

Lookin' back at me, he says it's a payback time

I could drift away so easy to that old familiar place

But it's a high price to pay

I've ran out of excuses and it's hard to face

But I believe I've lost my way

I wouldn't cut out to be alone

But I keep findin' myself alone

I wear the silence like an overcoat

And the nightmare lingers on

I had a dream about a sister who lived alone since gone away

I reached out and touched her face

Then she burr to read in silence and she began to pray

And I knew I'd lost my way

And I knew I'd lost my way
