I find myself here in a strange place
Racing the greatest of them all
I hear them, the angels call

I want to leave here and leave well enough alone
I want to find it but its not there, our home

I long to find the reassurance love can bring
But it has no song for me to sing

I sit alone and in the dark
On a new day I shall embark
Is it too early or have I left my mark

One after another they fall by my side
The stars don’t stay long
Just long enough to say goodbye
Then they fall by the way side

Who will listen and stay with me
Who will be what I need
No one is there to see my tear,
Just men full of worldly greed

Let me use you today
So I can say goodbye to pain
Then when I am done, I will call you pain
And you will dry like the rain

Storms come and storms go
My life vest has a hole
Still I am tossed to and fro

I have no doubt of their intentions
I am sure they must have been good
But I am drowning now in their religions

Its hard to stay afloat
When you’ve nothing of a boat
When they don’t love enough to keep you near
They use you to keep themselves sane
No thought or desire to remove your pain

Again and again… tears fall..
When does the man run out of them all
Saying goodbye again… how many years must that be the case
How come I can’t have someone for always
Always here, like the wind or the air
Never going away like the masses
No, life isn’t fair
But I want what most have
I want you, wherever you are
Reach for me.. before I fade into the sea
And become that way side star
