The day comes again
and the night fades away
life passes quickly
come what it may.
where to go
when you're lost inside
where to go
when it feels like you've died.
the clouds pass over
and the sun shines so bright
but the shadows never leave
try as i might.
but the shadows never leave
try as i might.
however
i know the gloom isn't as deep
as the world's endless sea of despair
and i know that while i may suffer
life isn't always fair.
the pain is overwhelming
as people are crying
the pain is overwhelming
as people are dying.
so the clouds are passing over
and the sun is shining ever so bright
but the shadows never leave
try as i might.
but the shadows never leave
try as i might.
still i know i must keep going
still i know we all must keep going
i need to feel alive
if i am to survive.
i need to feel alive
if i am to surive.
I wrote this at the end of September on the way home from Asheville, NC while listening to my boyfriend's Bob Dylan CD. While I normally don't care much for Mr. Dylan, I suppose his musick inspired me. Not sure if I will keep this up or not...
