I am going away, I am going down
I am going away, I am going down
Sifting through a memory
Before it fades away
Adolescent secrecy
A million words astray
Ah....
I can't remember happiness
I thrive within the dark
The security of a loneliness
Is a veil that keeps my calm
Ah....
By the way, I'm doing fine
I have a place to stay, just behind the sunshine
And by the way, I don't need sympathy
I have a place to lay, I have more than you can see
I walk the streets alone at night
It helps to ease my mind
I lay me down come the morning light
And leave all woes behind
Ah....
