My Solitary Foe

Weary from the road, a long and winding road
Only travel once 'til every turn embedded in my mind

But now I'm blind
My throat's all dried from dust
Every step amounts to pain
Through a waking dream
I try to sense what lies ahead
But I'm still blind
While standing here, oh
Seems time is running out

Someone followed in my tracks
An unseen stranger in disguise
Suddenly not breathing down my neck
Time once nothing but a word
Now it echoes the absurd
My solitary fall

I know there's no escape, nowhere to try and hide
No reason to give in to fears, to wander or deny
Embrace the stranger's touch, take it by the hand
Call upon the soothing rain, adopt the road ahead

Every stone I turn, another lesson learned
Lost along the way, waiting up ahead for those who stray
Well, I can't say

Ooh, and though I know a night won't come
I still do love all night
Let me close my eyes as the pain subsides

I know there's no escape, nowhere to try and hide
No reason to give in to fears, to wonder or deny
Embrace the stranger's touch, take him by the hand
Call upon the soothing rain adopt the road ahead

Let the water fill my mouth
Wash away the sadness, find the strength to care
Grant me the nature's touch, and make me see
Cure me my blindness, let me believe

Someone followed in my tracks
An unseen stranger in disguise
Suddenly now breathing down my neck
Time once nothing but a word
Now it echoes the absurd
My solitary fall

I know there's no escape, nowhere to try and hide
No reason to give in to fears, to wander a day and night
Embrace the stranger's touch, take him by the hand
Call upon the soothing rain, adopt the road ahead

I know there's no escape
Embrace the stranger's touch
Take him by the hand
Adopt the road ahead
