The Last Waltz

I read in the papers about the sad news of your son, my condolences The world lost a great soul and now all the rumors you heard have been put to rest He struggled to find a good reason to keep moving on in this broken world The future looked bright but somehow he lost sight of the goal, least that's what I heard It's one, two, three steps away and he's back again I keep lying awake up all night again Up all night again Everyone told him you're gonna get through this somehow, they'll be brighter skies And all of the voices that went on inside of his head told him otherwise Now I can't describe what you're feeling inside but I know they'll be better days There's nothing exciting so it's no surprise that I keep these thoughts out of play It's one, two, three steps away and you're back again I keep feeling the weight of the world again All the weight pulls down again It's been a while since I've really been true with myself or with anyone I struggled to find a good reason to keep moving on, so does everyone And it goes on and on and on It's one, two, three steps away and I'm back again I am feeling this more I ever have But it's more than I can do or you can say
