I Cannot Replace What I Have Lost

It's been a long time away from home But just think of the places where I could go And I look to the grass that's green and grown In the place that I have claimed And I look to the sky that is my roof And the lamps in the dark, I've joined their group And the stars in the night, they are my proof That I haven't forgotten my name And I live so far away From all the day to day I know it's different and free I just wish I wasn't a failure to me And I walk to the place that I have known A past life of mine, all set in stone And I stand in the rain, cold to the bone And I weep 'cause they haven't changed And I live so far away From all the day to day I know it's different and free I just wish I wasn't a failure to me I just wish I wasn't a failure to me
