Today I'm in the middle
Of getting by
I had a premonition
Let me tell you why
I still think about you baby
More than a memory
A flame that will not die

Let me tell ya'
You wanna know it
Yeah
I'm havin' a flashback
Tonight
I just need to walk about for a while
Cause you're not understanding me
So just close your eyes and try
Tonight
I know there's is no turning back
This time

Gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over
Better read between the lines in case I need it when I'm older, ooh yeah
This mountain I must climb is like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again

Yeah...

Took me twenty years to stand up straight and tall
Took all of twenty seconds
For everything to fall
I don't worry about my pride anymore
Pride is something
I just can't afford

I'd go begging in the rain
If I could spare you any pain
When it comes to you
I have no shame
No shame
No shame

There's no life by your side I wouldn't live
There's no sin you could commit

So I hope this finds you well
Sun is shining down eastern valley ways
There's some news I need to tell you
Give my Mother a kiss
Tell her I'm ok

I recall her words
"If it's too easy, It never lasts''
I have compromised
Now Im finally free of the past

Now I can dance
Clouds have all disappeared
Freedom
I hold so dear
Cause nobody knows me here
Though I can only imagine the sadness
In your eyes
