As Far As I Can Go

You walk away from life
Through the desert of the souls
I follow for awhile
To help you find your goal
You insist you'll find the truth
And that you'll pay it with your youth
I try to understand
After all i am your friend
As far as i can go
Always - everywhere
There's a grey spot of despair
A solitary pain
That is filling up the air
As far as i can go
Is this the end. A final goodbye
Is this the tears of fading life
Is this the place
Where you are gonna die
You hold the book of truth
An an aging, shakin' hand
But the only thing i see
Is a palm full of sand
As far as i can go
