Glenn Tipton - Searching lyrics

When I was young and alive Just looking for ways to survive I never did quite realise How time eats away at your life Now I am older for sure And close to the end of it all So I reflect with hindsight Sitting alone every night And I was desperate to find The things I have here by my side Now that I've let it all go I cry for the children so And I've spent all my life Searching for nothing And I've wasted my time To end up with nothing And I tried so hard to understand The yearnings of a younger man I know that I would change my plans If I could take my time again When I was young and alive Just looking for ways to survive I never did quite realise How time eats away at your life I have spent all my life Searching for nothing And I wasted my time And it's all come to nothing When I was young and alive I needed nothing Now I am ready to die I've still got nothing
