Lyrics

SO FAR GONE

Circumstances have conspired
Beyond my control.
Someone has put out the fire
That once crackled in my soul.

Life has never been easy,
Or so I’ve been told
By a voice old and wheezy.
I can’t seem to shake its hold.

Where did all of my hope go?
What happened to the joy?
So far gone that I don’t know
My mother’s baby boy.

Where did all of my hope go?
What happened to the joy?
So far gone that I don’t know
My mother’s baby boy.

I look at the cards I’ve been dealt;
I know it’s time to fold.
My younger self never felt
I could fall short of my goals.

Now I sit in semi-darkness,
Thick shadows woven in gloom,
Unprepared for the starkness
Of this – my last waiting room.

Where did all of my hope go?
What happened to the joy?
So far gone that I don’t know
My mother’s baby boy.

Where did all of my hope go?
What happened to the joy?
So far gone that I don’t know
My mother’s baby boy.
