I Can'T Remember the Name
Little bits of happiness gently dropping from the sky
Evaporate in the stillness as a cloud passes by
There seems so many consequences for decisions I've made
The cards that I hold don't seem like the ones that I played.
I see the serpent coil as it strikes to bite the hand
Perhaps it just a sign I take the time to understand
Sometimes I wonder if I really have a soul
The puzzle is in pieces it's so hard to feel whole.
The journeys that I make the road that I'm upon
Am I getting anywhere and has that taken much too long
I look outside myself at the great big world outside
I see the change before me like the ocean's tides.
Rising to new heights and then returning to the start
I start to see my soul but I was looking for my heart
The wind begins to pick up with the coming of the storm
I try to find some shelter to keep me safe and warm.
The happiness returns I believed it always would
All that seemed so bad has changed into good
Though everything has changed it still looks the same
I know it all to well I just can't remember the name...
