I started down a road
About thirty years ago
Pulling on a ball and chain
I pretended was my name
And it took a lot of turns
And the bridges all got burns
And I can't believe it now
That I'd rather turn around
Than to see the sun go down
Burning through my days
'Til they're gone away
Is it really set in stone
Weighing on my mind
Like the end of time
Am I really flesh and bone
I don't wanna die alone
I suppose I understand
What it means to be a man
But there was another time
I had a picture in my mind
And there was an angel there
With silver in her hair
And I know by God she'll survive
But she doesn't look alive
When the wolves come out at night
Burning through my days
'Til they're gone away
Is it really set in stone
Weighing on my mind
Like the end of time
Am I really flesh and bone
Am I really on my own
I don't wanna die alone
A vision or a memory
The pictures look the same to me
I can't tell what I'm waiting for
I wanted just another day
To say the things I need to say
But I don't want it anymore
A vision or a memory
They always look the same to me
I can't tell what I'm waiting on
Is there a place for making dreams
A sky that's blue, a grass that's green
Or is the road already gone
Burning through my days
'Til they're gone away
Is it really set in stone
Weighing on my mind
Like the end of time
Am I really flesh and bone
Am I really on my own
Is there such a place as home
I don't wanna die alone
I don't wanna die alone
