I am going away I am going down Sifting through a memory Before it fades away Adolescent secrecy A million words astray I cannot remember happiness I thrive within the dark The security of a loneliness Is a veil that keeps my calm By the way, I am doing fine I have a place to stay, just behind the sunshine And by the way, I do not 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
