Although now it seems like never
When we were even less together
I appeared to have my back to the wall
And the way things were going
There was no way of knowing
If I was having any luck at all
Silently, suddenly standing before me
An old man awaited his d**h
Part of me cried out but none turned to hide
For no curses distorted his breath
It was than that I took to thinking
And my hands took to writing
And my dreams came in answer to the call
Waiting in wonder my thoughts ran like thunder
Could it be that I've been wasting my mind
I grew sort of cold as the vision unfolded
Bursting the shackles of time
So I gathered what I had
And took a look at what was going down
And it made me kinda sad
Seeing all the circles going slowly 'round
And the stars sang in harmony
It was so perfect that it laid me down
And the rainclouds were tossed away
Seemed like the world was lost and I would drown
In its sound
Somewhere along the way
I don't know where I had
Really believed I was poor
Looking not seeing
The point of my being
When all of my fortune is sure
