Every ounce of yesterday
weighs a pound upon
my nostalgic heart

Clogging up this stream
where sentimental dreams
rip today apart

Yet I cannot take
another forward step
Until I really know

There is no way
right or left
and nowhere left to go

What reason can one give
for all this noise we hear
and all this pain we live?

Lay me in the empty street
where my fate and answers meet
Hold me still in a silent night
until I break upon the light
