Lost, I am lost on the vale of emotion

Tossed, like a stone on the stream set in motion

Held, like a leaf in the wind

We could not but spin and roll

Glad, that our hearts were full

And we could live beyond control

In your upstairs room we could hear the train

As it pulled out west on the C.P. Main

We had followed that course one short year before

When the sea called us to its side once more

And words we spoke in quiet haste

The time was ours and ours to waste

Left to ourselves we might shrink and die

You said yes to life and so must I

But I'm Lost, I am lost on the vale of emotion

Tossed, like a stone on the stream set in motion

Held, like a leaf in the wind

We could not but spin and roll

Glad, that our hearts were full

And we could live beyond control

And the wineglass gleams in the candlelight

Like molten amber for just one night

And our thoughts they are cast on that self same fire

Ablaze with that urge and that one desire

A heart set to walk to road

Aware of the weight but not the load

My hand's on the reign and I'm on my way

I won't deal with tomorrow till I'm through with today

But I'm Lost, I am lost on the vale of emotion

Tossed, like a stone on the stream set in motion

Held, like a leaf in the wind

We could not but spin and roll

Glad, that our hearts were full

And we could live beyond control

But I am lost
