The feeling
Familiar
Our life
Part of us
This can’t be
Break free
A man I am, inner me
Ultimately foresee
In him I seek closure from tyranny
Louder than before
Standing tall no more
Words fall
Hear whisper call

Before there was stress there was being young
Before there was stress there was being alive
Before there was stress I was me
Now I'm just someone trying to survive
Before there was stress there was a view
Before there was stress the colors adjusted their hue
And I could see for miles and miles
Before there was stress I had lots of style
Before there was stress the curtains were never drawn
And the days went on and on
Before there was stress I had the comfort of time
Before there was stress everyday was always mine

We were meant for biking miles in the fog, for laughing our aching ribs. Summer is only a word. But an orange word. Red sun spilling into the sky. burn of seawater. restless. There is hurt here. We are not too holy. We can save each other

I’m at the gate
Waiting, bright is the house
On the boundary I lean
Seeing the happy, smiling people at home
Does anyone notice, I’m calling
Was I ever there
Here I am in the dark, silent
please
I’m cold, my legs getting tired
How much longer can I stand
Alone looking in
Does anybody see me
What’s wrong with me
I would like to say hello
My voice is gone
It’s been so long
They’ve moved on
Forgotten

She's talking to people about me
There's not much anyone can say
Perhaps she will find I've been sad for a long time
Ever since she went away
Now the weather is colder here
Smoke is rolling from chimney tops all around
Even though the sky is clear
I know that wintertime will surely get me down
I awoke this morning and saw the sunlight for a moment
How suddenly the sky turned to gray
She's talking to people about me and they whisper
He's been sad a for long time ever since she went away
Is it crazy for me to ask god to keep me young
Till I find someone new perhaps today
But who have I been looking for
Ever since she went away

Wherever I go
I'm known to no one
And what could I say
I'm known to no one
Am I a drifter a stranger
Or maybe a ghost
I'm known to no one
Not even almost
And I'm not a cowboy I don't have a hat
Don't have any boots you see it's like that and that's the truth
And of course I don't have a horse and I'm known to no one
Sometime I wonder as I go along are the lady who I could yodel too
But I'm always too late you're already taken
I guess my fate is that my heart will always be aching
As I'm known to no one a drifter a stranger or maybe a ghost no one knew

What makes me feel so strange
On the other side of autumn?
Clouds of gray fur
Roll in the sky.
Life passes drop by drop.
You drifted into my life
Like a whirling leaf
From a branch.
As if someone lit a match
In the dark space.
The whole world fell apart
When you left
On the other side of autumn.
In your life I was just a page.
Everything is so temporary
And so strange
On the other side of autumn

I don't know the situation I don't think I can
I don't know the situation
Yes it's way out of my hands
She walks around with a ring on her finger so she never thinks about me
Why should I let these feelings of her linger
She has become a woman of high society
I don't know the situation but her mansion sits upon a hill
And when I walk by her place of worship I hear the congregation
Singing songs about God's will
I pack my bags to leave and thinking ahead is not a plan
I don't know the situation
But the situation is more than I can stand

I find myself sitting all alone
And that old home time feeling is gone
There's an echo of yesterday with no way to reply
And time is quickly passing by
Time passed by quickly and stolen precious things
It seems all my friends flew away on invisible wings
And I'm tired of remembering
Cause that old home time feeling is gone
I try to sing but I can't keep the beat
It's a lonesome sound as I tap my feet
The view of my neighborhood is empty and bare
There's one hillside then another the two places where I stare
There's a place you are traveling to and you're almost there
And when you arrive you won't greet an empty chair
But when you get older you'll travel in the twilight zone
And you will find that old home time feeling is gone

I traveled all the way to town just to find alone
It was a sad experience but I should have known
Lonely is everywhere I go it's everywhere I've been
Tell me something I don't know I don't know if I have a friend
You can be sad when you are young but when get old
The other word is very and there's not much that needs to be told
My words are simple to comprehend
I don't know if I have a friend
I write something for me to read
I know the lines are just a few
Perhaps it brings me close to what I need
I need to give this paper to you
