I Have Travelled So Far

The attempt to bridge the gap
Cannot be found on any map
And he sings of treasure troves
But his heart, it roves
And cannot settle on any one thing
So he won’t give a girl a ring
But he’s solid stone when it comes to worth
And I know the feeling hurt
From the break in his voice
He wouldn’t be doing this if he had a choice
But I see the midnight in his eyes
The recognition that everybody dies
In the summer of his life
Now he can’t take a wife
Coz she is just flesh and blood
And doesn’t really house the good
He’s been searching for
And there’s a golden door
That something’s behind
And I was out of my mind
With ardent love and lost belonging
And he has me doing no wronging
And I can’t put my finger on
The thing that’s gone
I’ve been looking for it since eleven
I thought I lost it at the age of seven
But what if it’s held in the Now
And if I allow
What is to be
I could be free
