I'm Lost(Live)

I’m Lost
©2006 Phil Gates



Hard Times
Wouldn’t leave us
They Came to visit and they stayed
Our hearts were in the right place
But our words got in the way

Then you said
You can’t take it
You don’t want this anymore
So I said
“You can leave it”
I watched you walk right out my door

Now I’m Lost, in a river
I’m Lost, in a sea
I’m Lost, in an ocean
Of despair, without you here with me

You’re gone
It’s so quiet
Will I ever heal this wound?
I hear
Distant echoes
Of your sweet voice in my room


My attempt
To misplace you
To lose sight of your face
My eyes
Won’t lose focus
It’s your love, that I can’t replace

Now I’m Lost, in a river
I’m Lost, in a sea
I’m Lost, in an ocean
Of despair, without you here with me
