[Chorus]
Ask me where I am going
and I tell you where I've been.
Ask me who I am
and I say that I'm your friend.
Ask me what I'm doing
and I tell you I don't know.
Just to live through life
and now it's time to go.
Back when I was just a kid
I used to think the world was big.
But really it ain't that big at all.
(not at all)
For I am lenting far away
until I learned the truth one day.
In reality the world's quite small.
(world so small)
I sailed across the sea
to find another place to be.
Where I could live so happily
that would be the life for me.
I wanted to fly the sky so vest
in a jetplane traveling fast.
Looking out the looking glass
watching the clouds go past.
[Chorus]
I've been high, I've been low.
Seems like everywhere I go.
It's a place I could call home.
(home sweet home)
It's today is in my shaddle
and today is a new battle.
Tomorrow the weight I don't know.
But my ticket beds are pet.
Falsing my head no turning back.
The smoke is white, the coal is black.
The engine is pushing off this track.
Ship is setting sail again.
It's just me against the wind.
Loneliness is my old friend.
Comes to visit now and then.
( Time will come for all of us
to test that element of trust.
Climb upward that feddle bus
turns our ashes into dust. )
[Chorus]
(Ask me what I'm doing
I tell you I don't know.
Just try to live through life
and now it's time to go )
