Lost In The Lookin'

Lost In The Lookin´

when i was young
i used to say
i won´t have to live
like i do today

i am a witness
whose eyes have grown dim
lost in the past
of a future to come
of a life i can´t win

(chorus)
but don´t tell me nothin´
that resembles truth
´cause i´m still in a hurry
like i was in my youth
my mind still wonders
what tomorrow may be
guess i´m lost in the lookin´
tryin´ to hold on
to what i´m too blind to see

i sat on my laurels
watching the time
good fortune is lost
at the scene of the crime

success is sweetest
if you never succeed
and the dreams of a dreamer
will never be lost
by someone like me

(chorus)

i´ve tried to make it
make it my way
counting on tomorrow
to get through today

you don´t want for water
´till the well is dry
and the dying man begs
for the water of life
but he gets no reply

(chorus)

but don´t tell me nothin´
that resembles truth
´cause i´m lost in the lookin´
tryin´ to hold on
to what i was in my youth
