Surely I know 'cause I've been there before
When nothing's left but the pain
Still you hold on after everything's gone
And only memories remain
Like the shell of the town
With the rain pouring down
Abandoned and left for the wind
Everyone's gone away
Seeking that better day
With no wish to be there again
So you do as you must
And sweep up the dust
Of mythical times long ago
All the bridges are burned
And the lessons all learned
That only the brave hearts can know
Now the dice have been cast
But the ghosts of the past
Float around in the mirror
And silently ask you to
Join in their dances
And hopeless romances
Through graveyards of sadness
Confusion and madness!
You take to the road
And carry the load
That only one brave heart will know
And you do what you do
That will carry you through
To a future that's yet to unfold
What it might hold
Stories untold
Like the shell of the town
With the rain pouring down
Abandoned and left for the wind
Everyone's gone away
Seeking that better day
With no wish to be there again
So you do as you must
And sweep up the dust
Of mythical times long ago
All the bridges are burned
And the lessons all learned
That only the brave hearts can know
Now the dice have been cast
But the ghosts of the past
Float around in the mirror
And silently ask you to
Join in their dances
And hopeless romances
Through graveyards of sadness
Confusion and madness!
You take to the road
And carry the load
That only one brave heart will know
And you do what you do
That will carry you through
To a future that's yet to unfold
What it might hold
Stories untold
