I sit alone, discontent

Your ears don't hear what I say

After awhile you disconnect

To set you apart from the pain

I walked past you all your life

But there is only one place

Next to you where I decide in the presence of your grace



Hide your eyes from what is real

And you don't know what I'll do

Your pattern's locked in all these drawers

But only one holds your clue



Watch for people coming through

They don't know where I stand

One foot is by your side and one in another land



I've been down so many roads

As a child too far away

I've been down so many roads

I was travelin' too far away, and I say



I return from miles away

To find that I didn't know you

I would go where the river flows if I were able to

But I walk by you once again

There is only one place

Next to you where I decide in the presence of your grace



I've been down so many roads

As a child too far away

I've been down so many roads

I was traveling too far away

I've been down so many roads

I was traveling too far away
