Mark Hockings - Once Surrounded lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark Hockings] You've gone from walking on air To all the nights you've spent wrapped up in despair You'd have to question what You got in return You watch as the years go slipping by No amount of d** could give you such a high The longest lesson's done And what did you learn [Chorus: Mark Hockings] Once surrounded but now they're gone Sing your part in your final song Once you counted but that's the thanks you get But lock the door when you go to bed [Verse 2: Mark Hockings] What does it take to do it right To keep the memories when it's always such a fight You have to walk the path As the tide is coming in When do you stop to see the light When it's so dark that a candle would seem bright You've got your breathing back You don't know how to begin [Chorus: Mark Hockings] Once surrounded but now they're gone Sing your part in your final song Once you counted but that's the thanks you get But lock the door when you go to bed [Bridge: Mark Hockings] And why should you walk away With nothing Why should you fade away To nothing [Chorus: Mark Hockings] Once surrounded but now they're gone Sing your part in your final song Once you counted but that's the thanks you get But lock the door when you go to bed [Outro: Mark Hockings] Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young Just stay young
