Mick Brady: Lyrics

This is no idle journey

Just drifting wherever I go

But I’ve been fishing in lakes of shadows

And swimming against the flow

Time can slip by so quickly

When it seems you’re a success

But the mind can be fooled real easy

And only the heart protests

Stolen days, stolen hours, stolen minutes

Always thought that I was gonna be just fine

But now I’m far enough away to see clearly

And I see clearly I was just wasting time

 

Now the high hills are all behind me

I don’t need to climb them no more

And though I’m sailing through strange waters

I can see the lights on the shore

I’m trying to forget what I remember

And remember what I have forgot

But old questions don’t have easy answers

And old questions are all that I’ve got
