Days Gone

Were I a drifter before?
Wandering in a world I haven’t a clue I was from?
Perhaps closer to the truth I saw
How wondering into nights were days gone...

I sat and watch another day going by
Did I earn enough to see another tomorrow?
I sat alone wishing I could die
Only to have yesterday proofing what hope doesn’t follow

I would drift away in my thoughts
I would be lost and unfound
And to be what I am not
Guess the world and me hasn’t come round

Leave me be for now and ever
Simply because I was left wandering and alone
I’ve seen what the world has to offer
Have I not often wonder how my offer was left unknown...

I was a drifter before
To have wandered far from where I once belong
Perhaps my truth is what I finally stood for
Have I not wonder in nights from my days gone...
