Dark Lane

What is this path I’m walking in?
It’s dark, it’s lonely

The light at the end of the tunnel
I’ve heard about it
But I don’t see no light
I ain’t in no tunnel

Is there hope for me?
How long do I have to walk here
Is there any company..
.. to keep?

A lot of people walked past me
I’ve spoken to a few
Who walked with me for a while
They didn’t stay though

Some who I talked to
I didn’t want to keep
Some who I talked to
Didn’t choose to stay
Others, I got bored of

I keep walking here
I had some excitement before
Of what might come
But now, I’m empty

I’m waiting for this path to end now
I’m waiting to reach my destination
Funnily, I don’t know what that is

At least give me a clue
At least let me know what to do
