my life was a ponderous monotone
living loving but not feeling
sharing my life yet living alone
sent my mind a-reeling
standing on the edge
of a deep dark pit
afraid to look down
don't want to look back
feeling like i have to quit
cool water like ink
cool and inviting
no time to think
no reason for fighting
like my life
i'm drifting away
please take my hand
and beg me to stay
