Wandering far from nowhere I came across an old man working alone He didn't notice me at all But my past was written in his pictures All over the sidewalk I took a moment to look at them But I had already seen them from the inside Scenes all to familiar now I would have looked away If I could have somehow I want to know what lies ahead I want to see what is in store I want to know what I am about And if I have something to live for He drew a road to nowhere And I found myself following blindly along Never asking where it led Not knowing my home Was the road I was on I want to know what lies ahead I want to see what is in store I want to know what I am about And if I have something to live for "Paint me a groom," I said "Paint me my estate, Paint me my children, Paint me a future of some kind A reason for being" I want to know what lies ahead I want to see what is in store I want to know what I am about And if I have something to live for I want to know what lies ahead I want to see what is in store I want to know what I am about And if I have something to live for
