lyrics

Old Trails

All alone in my house, the phone doesn’t ring
And my neighbor has parties from dusk till dawn.
My flat is my prison and I need to break free
From the rain knocking at my doors,
From the dogs barking loud when I try to sleep,
From the TV with all its bad news.

I close the front door and see where the pavement heads to.

I went southbound where the sun enlightened me
And I found the place where all the dreams come true.
No thoughts of tomorrow and I never look back.
It’s the instant that matters now.
It’s the glance of perfection that I’ve found here
In my own private paradise.

But somehow I feel homeless.

I had to leave all the old trails
To go where no one has been,
Go out, discover this world
And its phenomena.
Oh, when I’m gone, friends do not wail!
It’s time that I spread my wings,
Go out, discover this world in its magnificence.
I know that I hurt when I left you,
But oh I do enjoy life here.

I’ve been gone to see what this world exhibits,
All the paths a foot can walk on, I’ve been marching.
Smelled all the wildest flowers on remote mountain sites,
Tasted dishes no one here knows.
But it felt as if there was one thing I lacked
Like a puzzle that isn’t complete.

Still I’m some kind of homeless.

CHORUS

It feels empty in my soul, I can’t fill it.
Like a hole no bottom to see.
Something evil but I can’t kill it,
Not long I know it will kill me.

I am lonely sometimes though I stand in the
Crowd with people around me. And everywhere
There is joy and laughter. I can’t even smile
When there’s no one I know who smiles back at me.
I do like it here but it just don’t feel the same.
Something’s missing inside my heart.
The best meal you can get won’t be good alone,
The best place you can sleep is at home.

And I’m some kind of homeless.

CHORUS

Now I know that it meant nothing without you my friends.
