Album: Diamond Mine
Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine
Slipped into the darkness at the edge of the night
Got more and more and more confused
In a never ending search for youth
He turned his back upon an open door
Went back to the road he'd been on before
Going round and round in the darker zone
'Til he finally found himself alone
He slipped away from resolutions
Kept trying to find easy solutions
All tangled up with worldly problems
He'd sneak around like the artful dodger
Oh, he got lost on a mountaintop covered in snow
Going snowblind, lost his soul, running out of time
Oh, and he's got so far to go
Searching for light
Lost somewhere up the dark end of the road
He used to be a simple man
With innocence and simple plans
He had to go and complicate it
Got bored with life and tired of waiting
The days of rage seemed never ending
He'd run and hide keep on pretending
That everything would turn out right
He's stepping out again tonight
The lines were blurred by his confusion
Torn apart and disillusioned
All tangled up with worldly problems
He'd sneak around like the artful dodger
Oh, he got lost on a mountaintop covered in snow
Going snowblind, lost his soul, running out of time
Oh, and he's got so far to go
Searching for light
Lost somewhere up the dark end of the road
