LEFT IT ALL BEHIND - KYLE LEDSON


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
