Softly I approach
though the writings on the wall
There’s no hope for the future
the past has taken it all
and drained me
drained my dry

I’m not the man I was
and I’m not the man I could be
I just take what comes
and don’t let them use me
It’s hard when you’re down
It’s hard when you’re down

I read all the signs
and all the signs read sorrow
The world barely moves
I can’t wait for tomorrow
It must be yesterday
today is to late
