Father slips away to the twilight of my brain
And I'm starting to remember how I never did remember anything
So how to let go of the tension in my back and bones
When I should be like the troubadours
To sing about this life of mine
When I am all pent up inside
Yeah, it might be my life that's holding me back
So disturbing
The story goes
Round and round the sea
Knows a lake that flows
Like precious time into a storm
Tell it to the wind
For he don't care for anything
You say or you do
Your words are washed ashore with you
But I'm so far away
So far away
So far that you just don't care
Yeah, I'm so far away
So far away
It might be my life that's holding me back
And I'm starting to remember how I never did remember anything
So how to let go of the tension in my brain
When I should be like the troubadours
To sing about this life of mine
Yeah, it might be my life that's holding me back
Tell it to the wind
But I'm so far away
So far away
So far that you just don't care
Oh, so far that you just don't dare say no
So far that you just can't make it
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
