Hollow Sound

My whole life I have been afraid I have hedged my bets I have played it safe It's hard to face that I'm just a man And all I can do is the best I can 'Cause I never give myself a break Every good thing is either luck or fate I'll sow the seeds when I find new ground But the beat of my heart makes a hollow sound Yeah the beat of my heart it makes a hollow sound Oh I am losing sleep I've got miles to go I've got mouths to feed So when I lose this war with time And I finally close my eyes What will be left behind, behind So the truth is all I'll ever be Is it just a shadow cast on the open sea? When will I leave that stone behind It's just a marker of this passing time 'Cause I never give myself a break Every good thing Is either luck or fate I'll sow the seeds when I find new ground But the the beat of my heart makes a hollow sound Yeah the beat of my heart it makes a hollow sound Oh I am losing sleep I've got miles to go I've got mouths to feed So when I lose this war with time And I finally close my eyes What will be left behind, behind Oh I am losing sleep I've got miles to go I've got mouths to feed So when I lose this war with time And I finally close my eyes What will be left behind, behind
