Talking to an old friend yesterday
She told me how her life’s gone astray
Her hubby has walked out the door
She tried to smile but her hearts still sore
What could I tell her what could I say
She’s not the only one ended up this way
Gonna meet her for a drink downtown
Talk about what goes up then crashes down
But I can’t change a damn thing
Just gonna sit back and listen to her heart sing
A song of tears a song of joy
All this pain for one stupid boy
Chorus
I can’t give you the answer your seeking
This world is full of people weeping
Just because I look like I don’t have a care
What makes you think I aint paid my fair share
I’ve learnt to except the past
Whatever pain it gives never lasts
Talking to an old flame the other day
She told me it’s a shame I went away
Had to remind her It was she who strayed
And life’s too short to throw it all away
Guess we both survived
To see another day
Everyone’s seeking for there own answers
Some go to church others to table dancers
If we could all see a road so clear
Would there be anything left to fear
Gotta take the smooth with the rough
It will all work out soon enough
Chorus

Nowhere bound
Walking away was always easy
It’s something I learned long ago
Cos fate always seems to tease me
At first there’s happiness and bliss
But you know deep inside
That out of the blue comes the twist
It’s a loosing game for lost souls
Whose dreams have vanished
Along with their goals
Don’t feel pity don’t feel shame
No direction free to roam
To take the heat and feel the flame
Chorus
Spent too long being kicked around
Can’t take you with me , I’m nowhere bound
Don’t cry a tear, don’t make a sound
You can’t board a train that’s nowhere bound
I ain’t leaving just seeing it through
You knew it would end this way
So don’t pretend it’s outta the blue
A wondering spirit can never stay
And it just don’t matter anymore
Cos I just can’t find peace anyway
Chorus
Spent too long being kicked around
Can’t take you with me , I’m nowhere bound
Don’t cry a tear, don’t make a sound
You can’t board a train that’s nowhere bound
