Darkness of night, out of which I came. I'm too alone in the world and yet not alone enough...

Round the world it roams
Trying the good life out
It doesn't stay  it's back...

Across the way   a cheerless place
Where sadness   sadness lives
When it leaves home to go singing
It has a wild intent
It utters a shrill refrain
To the guitar's lament

Day after day it sings
Then anxiously returns
Home as in a sailing ship
With Yearning on the stern.

Across the way   a cheerless place
Where sadness   sadness lives.

What became of my road to...
When fall came this way?
The moon has been stowed
And the cars put away...

Across the way   a cheerless place
Where sadness   sadness lives.
