What's Coming Next

Faces of clocks have been turned around As I drift from this ol' country town. The last of the signs Disappear from my mind And the autumn rains start to come down. It was once on a night just like this, Felt the touch of a soft, tender kiss; In the ages gone by Caught a tear in the eye Wond'ring what it all was that I'd missed. I remember the laughter and games But I cannot recall all the names. We played with the truth Through the wonders of youth, But tomorrow we'd not feel the same. No, tomorrow we'd not feel the same. There are mountains that we'll never climb While the heart steals the beats of our time. The lines on my face Feel so far out of place, Just like footprints that I've left behind. Now there's too many been laid to rest For the reasons not meant to be guessed. But since they've been gone Life's kept rolling along, And no one can say what's coming next. No, no one can say what's coming next.
