Lyrics Not One Step Behind - Brook Benton, Dinah Washington

Not One Step Behind

Watching remains from dust
Expecting to unhinge all the signs
From this thoughts
I just can’t keep clearmy mind
Waiting, (for) my breathe inside
Why am I escaping
If I do not wish to wake up?
There’s no way to pull me out
I don’t belong to this hell!
Faceless, my dignity
In my world of mirrors
Lies is the truth
Destiny cannot stare me
I shouldn’t be a piece of you
Fearless, your hands on me
Taking away this life from me
All the past hasn’t existed
My dreams are gone
This isn’t what I wanted it to be…
Every moment in this place
I just look back, and live to wait
Hearing no words, lips are sealed
Rime of secrets unraveled
I’ve lost this life, now it’s done
But I still feel
That thread keeping me
How can I ease this pain
Spinning in my head?
Answers coming and going
All the time
I don’t have enough to waste
It’s right
And I fell so empty as I bleed
Flashes of my days
Tearing my eyes
Holding down my hands
Now I can’t fight
And I pray the L
Ord to finnish this
I just can’t go on
There’s no strenght
I’ll learn the last dance tonight
And once I’m ready, I can’t go back
I am just one step behind
No matter where I am
Or I’m supposed to be
No questions to be answered, I am free
