Once i stumbled on this place
Old and crumbling, left to waste
Nothing moving, not a sound
(and silence wraps around)
Oh, what is this i have found?
There's no one here
There's no one home
Oh, i feel so all alone
How many years; it's been so long
How many seasons come and gone
Chorus:
Reached out my hand to touch the ground
As if i could somehow
Bring back the steps of those before
I wish i could know more
I could not find i could not feel
Oh, i gazed across the field
I could not hear i could not see
All the years of those before me
Of those before me, yeah
Oh yeah
As i walked slowly through the door
(slowly through the door)
Faint etchings on the floor
(faint etchings on the floor)
Attempts to remind and preserve
(to preserve)
Oh, but how long can they serve
With no one here to share a word
Oh, how long will it take to learn
We've got one chance
We've got one turn
No more sin and no more hurt
Chorus:
Reached out my hand to touch the ground
As if i could somehow
Bring back the steps of those before
I wish i could know more
I could not find i could not feel
Oh, i gazed across the field
I could not hear i could not see
All the years of those before me
Of those before me, yeah
Oh yeah
Chorus 2:
Reached out my hand to touch the sky
Oh, as if my thoughts could fly
Throughout the seasons of this past
I wish that i could ask
I could not see; i could not find
Oh, what was left behind
I could not think what's in their mind
Though i start to realize
To realize
Oh yeah
