“Lost in darkness, missing you already David Bowie …”

LyricsNot Knowing …

Verse
Where are my friends, I thought I’d see again -
I guess, off dreaming in some distant land,
Instead of coming by, to hold my hand -
I wonder why?

Verse
I’ve been waiting to see — to be set free …
Long past, I bid innocence farewell
Then indifference came my way -
Now I’m trying not to recall at all.

Verse
If I only known, as days drifted on,
No place remains for you to go -
Not to witness faces on better days,
Perhaps one night, that’s when you know.

Chorus
No longer are there days
Bringing a rising light -
And there’s no time left to say
I don’t know who was right -
It’s time to turn my back
For there’s nothing’s left
But endless nights ….
Not knowing.

Outro
Perhaps somehow, I’ll come to know,
Why a mind gets clouded — becomes blind
It’s when we fail to see the clues ..
Maybe then,
There’ll be words,
To set me free.
