The Walk Home

What was believed is melting away All that was said has nothing to say Life and its reasons led me astray Another brick crumbles with every birthday But I'll sing until I die Some of it truth some of it lies So little left and so much gone It's been a hell of a ride Now it's time to walk home Much that was loved is no longer here Cherished memories bring smiles and tears Mother and father sister and dog Fragments of soul all dead and gone But I'll sing until I die Some of it truth some of it lies It no longer matters what's right or wrong The fires and the floods Have ravaged the home Ain't that the way it all turns out That which was sure fades into doubt All that was solid turns out to be gas And those arrogant prophets can all kiss my ass But I'll sing until I die Some of it truth some of it lies So little left and so much gone It's been a hell of a ride Now it's time to walk home But I'll sing until I die Some of it truth most of it lies There was a time when I thought myself bold But that was just fancy And now the home place is sold
