I Believe I've Lost My Way Songtext
von Tony Joe White

Had to keep on ′til a line went empty
Had to keep on 'til it came on wide
Keep on burnin′ when the fire was dying
'Til I burn it down

I been lookin' on the dark side
I don′t know what I′ve thought I could find
Now there's a stranger in the mirror
Lookin′ back at me, he says it's payback time


I could drift away so easy to that old familiar place
But it′s a high price to pay
I've ran out of excuses and it′s hard to face
But I believe I've lost my way

I wouldn't cut out to be alone
But I keep findin′ myself alone
I wear the silence like an overcoat
And the nightmare lingers on

I had a dream about a sister who lived alone since gone away
I reached out and touched her face
Then she burr to read in silence and she began to pray
And I knew I′d lost my way
