Story behind the song
We all have our good days -- and then there are days we feel like this.
Lyrics
SO FAR GONE Circumstances have conspired Beyond my control. Someone has put out the fire That once crackled in my soul. Life has never been easy, Or so I’ve been told By a voice old and wheezy. I can’t seem to shake its hold. Where did all of my hope go? What happened to the joy? So far gone that I don’t know My mother’s baby boy. Where did all of my hope go? What happened to the joy? So far gone that I don’t know My mother’s baby boy. I look at the cards I’ve been dealt; I know it’s time to fold. My younger self never felt I could fall short of my goals. Now I sit in semi-darkness, Thick shadows woven in gloom, Unprepared for the starkness Of this – my last waiting room. Where did all of my hope go? What happened to the joy? So far gone that I don’t know My mother’s baby boy. Where did all of my hope go? What happened to the joy? So far gone that I don’t know My mother’s baby boy. Copyright © 2017 Lex Zaleta
