Alone as I sit and watch the trees
Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me
And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come
Or will you laugh at me
Or will I run
Little boy says to me,
"Where you goin' now son"
I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy
I only know where I'm from"
And it makes me wonder
If the stars shine when my eyes close
Or does my brothers heart cry
I don't know
I'm a stranger in my home
Now that everybody's gone
Someone please talk to me
Cause I feel you cry
And you're sitting with him
And I know I'll never see you again
Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
You see I'm tired of feeling this pain
I'm tired of living my own little lie
And it makes me wonder
When I see you in my dreams
Does it mean anything
Are you trying to talk to me
I'm a stranger in my home
Tell me are you feeling alone
Someone tell me what to do
'Cause I'm feeling strong
And I wonder how you feel
Do you realize my pain is for real
I see you in my dreams
And I wonder if you're looking down at me
And smiling right now
I wanna know if it's true
When he looks at me
Won't you tell me
Does he realize he came down here
And he took you too soon
And now my days are short an my nights are long
I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on
It makes me wonder as I sit and stare
Will I see your face again
Tell me, do you care
I'm a stranger in my home
Living life on my own
Right now I just can't see
'Cause i'm feeling weak
And my sould begins to bleed
And no one is listening to me, not even the trees(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull)
It wasn't my intention to cause you this pain
But here we are, a bridge too far
I've left you here to wonder if it all was a game
How can it be, these changes in me
Nothing lasts forever, that's true
Take a look at the world that we once knew
Gone are the feelings that once we could hold on to
Chorus:
Try to forgive me, find a way to believe me
I'm hurting the same way too
Oh I know it's not easy, but baby believe me
We've been fighting this war far too long
Where did we go wrong
I tried to write a letter, but it's better this way
Here in this place, face to face
Let's not forsake the future in view of the past
So little gained and far too much pain
Trying to compromise our points of view
We leave each other feeling blue
Gone are the feelings that once would have seen us through
Chorus
The simple truth is clear to see
Time to surrender, let it be
There's nothing here for us to hold on to
Chorus
