lyrics

I LOST THE SONG

When I spoke and you didn’t hear me,
You never came near me.
Well, I don’t mind. Just try to find me.
When I laughed and you sat there crying,
You knew I was dying.
Well, if you’re real, just try to feel me.

And I think I’m going nowhere
With dreams of living there.
Yes, I’m running on the north wind
And dream the sky is fair.
But I’m wrong.
I lost the song.

I’m a man who cannot be gentle;
Who tends to be mental.
I’ll never find what we call freedom.
When I drift with feelings inside me,
Oh, why can’t they hide me?
I hear the years decay; I’m straying.

And the song is fleeing endlessly
In bleeding melodies.
Soon the time will come for holding
The lyrics close to me.
But I’m wrong.
I lost the song.
