A Long Way Past The Past |
More than I had in mind |
More than I wish I knew |
And now it’s near on me |
Some rush of red fear |
And my worst old times look fine from here |
I know you walked this route |
And you might help me out |
You said what’s done is done |
I can’t turn the hand 'round |
But still it looks a long way down |
Oh man, was it that much better then? |
We were left alone, we were proud of our pain |
And so I want to walk out in the night |
See the wide young river flood rain |
We’re not on one straight line |
I made my own way through |
And when the track goes cold |
I’ll know that it’s true |
That rebirth won’t work like it used to |
Oh man, was it that much better then? |
We were left alone, we were proud of our pain |
And so I want to walk out in the night |
See the wide young river flood rain |
And I can’t let go |
Of a lot I’ve left |
I’m holding nothing |
But what I kept |
And it all got dimmer |
Each passing step |
And I need you with me |
And you read the writ |
Are you now insisting |
Is it not worth it? |
But I’ve got no option |
I inherited this and I’m overcome |
That’s that, we’re a long way from the past |
I’ll be better off in a year or in two |
