[Intro]

I am going away, I am going down

I am going away, I am going down

[Verse]

Sifting through a memory

Before it fades away

Adolescent secrecy

A million words astray

[Chorus]

Ah....

[Verse]

I can't remember happiness

I thrive within the dark

The security of a loneliness

Is a veil that keeps my calm

[Chorus]

Ah....

[Verse]

By the way, I'm doing fine

I have a place to stay, just behind the sunshine

And by the way, don't need sympathy

I have a place to lay, I'm more than you can see

I walk the streets alone at night

It helps to ease my mind

I lay me down come the morning light

And leave all woes behind

[Chorus]

Ah....
