How  could he know this new dawn's light
 Would change his life  forever
Set  sail to sea but pulled off course
 By the light of golden treasure
Was  he the one causing pain
 With his careless dreaming
Been  afraid, always afraid
 Of the things  he's feeling
He could just be gone
He  would just  sail on
 He would just sail on
 How can I be lost
 If I've got  nowhere to go
 Searched the seas of gold
 How come  it's got so cold
 How can I be lost
 In remembrance  I relive
 How can I blame you
 When it's me  I can't forgive
These  days drift on inside a fog
 It's thick and suffocating
This  seeking life outside its hell
 Inside intoxicating
He's  run aground, Like his life
 Water's much  too shallow
Slipping  fast, down with the ship
 Fading in  the shadows
Now  a castaway
They've  all gone  away
 They've gone away
 How can I be lost
 If I've got  nowhere to go
 Searched the seas of gold
 How come  it's got so cold
 How can I be lost
 In remembrance  I relive
 How can I blame you
 When it's me  I can't forgive
