I was there at the dawning, saw the birth of the day
Found the road so I shouldered my load, and set out on the way
I was young, I was young, I was young
Wandered on through the morning, felt a change in the air
Learned to choke on the bitter black smoke, felt the shape of despair
I was strong, I was strong, I was strong
Cos there's nowhere in this long forsaken work where I belong
In the heat of the noonday, at the height of the sun
On the grass there was no shadow cast, as I started to run
I was lost, I was lost, I was lost
I believed in the music, I had faith in the world
Thought the song was the place I belonged, thought that I would be heard
I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong
Cos there's nowhere in this long forsaken work where I belong
On the cusp of the darkess, on the edge of the night
Turned away from the death of the day, walked away from the light
I was gone, I was gone, I was gone
And there's nowhere in this long forsaken work where I belong
I was young, I was strong, I was lost, I was wrong, I was gone
I was long, long gone
