Needle In The Dark lyrics

With progress comes problems

With wisdom comes age

With lessons come learning

And pleasure comes with pain

You can only have the sunshine

After the rain

I took a walk, it got me thinking

Left foot right foot

Smiling blinking

Breath out breath in

Somehow linking

My soul to my mind

And my heart to my mouth

Lost and the found

And the north to the south

And the corners to the circle in my mind

We may find that the gate has been locked

And we come back down to what we really are

Retrace the footprints of the path that is lost

It's like trying to find a needle in the dark

My hands they are empty, but they are clean

I'm poor but I'm healthy and half between

The gutter and the skyline

So I took a walk to the lands end, yeah

Thinking about an ex-girlfriend that I had

And the pages that I've turned

And it seems to me that we all love the chase

But once we're caught we feel encaged

Behind bars of love and trust uprooted

We're drunk in lust by people

People just like us

Yeah, and people

People just like us

And yeah

You may find that the gate has been locked

When we come back down to what we really are

Yeah, retrace the footprints of the path that's been lost

It's like trying to find a needle in the dark

So I took a walk to the station

Lost in my imagination

Having private conversations with myself

And I'm just stumbling around

And I wait for the sound

For this crumbling town to come tumbling down

And people say that I'm just bumming around

But I've had both my ears to the ground

To the ground...

Oh, yeah (To the ground...)
