In the echoes of a faraway mind
I count the dreams I left behind
Memories of wilful discontent
Happiness on roads never bent.
And in the twilight of my years
You'll find me barren on any tears
There were times of right or wrong
Twisted words to a twisted song
This is the way God brought me to
These days of agony are very few.
He brought me to a life that's true
I know not when or why, it's as if
He decided to pass me by; adrift
Middle age brought me closer and
He left behind days of flowing sand.
Thank You Lord Father and Friend
The first half finally came to an end,
The second half, no fears or frets
I love You lord and no regrets.
I count the dreams I left behind
Memories of wilful discontent
Happiness on roads never bent.
And in the twilight of my years
You'll find me barren on any tears
There were times of right or wrong
Twisted words to a twisted song
This is the way God brought me to
These days of agony are very few.
He brought me to a life that's true
I know not when or why, it's as if
He decided to pass me by; adrift
Middle age brought me closer and
He left behind days of flowing sand.
Thank You Lord Father and Friend
The first half finally came to an end,
The second half, no fears or frets
I love You lord and no regrets.
