Tired & neglected 
Lost for the moment 
Thoughts are collected 
Never relent 

Cold winds are blowin' 
Green fields are empty 
Rivers are flowin' 
Back to the sea 

The clock in the courtyard 
Chimes out it's message 
And witness the changes 
They're meant to be 

I wouldn't change it for a thousand years 
If I ever lose my mind 
It's not the way that anythin' appears 
And I won't let it all unwind 
It's a journey to the promised land 
I don't know how long it takes 
Pretty soon I'll have to play my hand 
After all they're my mistakes 

Caught in the shadows 
Hiding completely 
All good intentions 
Carry the day 

I've no objection 
No need to worry 
It's pure invention 
It takes me away 

I wouldn't change it for a thousand years 
If I ever lose my mind 
It's not the way that anythin' appears 
And I won't let it all unwind 
It's a journey to the promised land 
I don't know how long it takes 
Pretty soon I'll have to play my hand 
After all they're my mistakes 

I really don't know where we are 
Or what we've become 
In time these things will come to pass 
Before we're undone 

I wouldn't change it for a thousand years 
If I ever lose my mind 
It's not the way that anythin' appears 
And I won't let it all unwind 
It's a journey to the promised land 
I don't know how long it takes 
Pretty soon I'll have to play my hand 
After all they're my mistakes
