lyrics

amid the calm of seclusion
came to me a conclusion
I stood up a statue to represent
a monument of emotion
I’d taken away all the action
sat outside satisfaction
thought I could think my way free
losing a great part of me
along the way

and it’s a long way back
back before I left me there
racing along the track
I threw away the thrill
a long way back

in the midst of all the thoughtfulness
I was taken by the idea of lonliness
took a shortcut to get to poety
passing over a part of me
along the way

and it’s a long way back
back before I left me there
racing along the track
I threw away the thrill
a long way back

instead of riding the waves
I Iooked to reason
instead of cutting class
I asked the questions
acting old for my age
losing youth and rage
along the way

and it’s a long way back
back before I left me there
racing along the track
I threw away the thrill
a long way back
