LEFT IT ALL BEHIND

My mind faded into blackness
For just a moment I was gone
When I awoke from my traveler’s sleep
I knew there’s something going on

The room was steel with no windows
As I emerged from a trance
My legs were weak my mind was empty
And my gait a drunken dance

My mind drifts like the ocean
And I start thinking about my love
I feel like I said goodbye yesterday
But yesterday was in another life

I can’t remember what I told her
I can’t remember what I said
And so i thought about reality
To get her thought out of my head

I left it all behind
Something I’ll never find
Now that life’s a one way track
I’ll be never coming back

The endless stars beyond the windows
A void that seems to pull you in
The endless road of possibilities
How could anyone begin again

Because I’d take that chance
I’d throw my life on the line
Without knowing where I’m going
Without knowing what I’ll find

I left it all behind
Something I’ll never find
Now that life’s a one way track
I’ll be never coming back

I made my way to the cockpit
So many noises flashing lights
The powers is on reserve, please return back to earth
And I know the voice was right

And so I looked over the records
To see just how far I’ve flown
and I got knocked off course 20 years ago
And I ain’t ever coming home

I left it all behind
Something I’ll never find
Yeah, I left it all behind
Something I’ll never find

Now that life’s a one way track
I’ll be never coming back
