I've tried to read the future,
I've talked about the past,
I've tried to hold on tightly
Through the slow waltz and the fast;
I've been a silent witness
To the passing of the years,
I've filled myself with laughter
And I've drowned myself in tears.
I've walked beneath the midday sun,
I've slept beneath the moon,
I've tried to find the still-point
Between the brightness and the gloom;
I've followed every highway,
I've turned up every stone,
But in the heart of darkness
My footsteps are alone.
