A Wandering Man's Hell

The story of a man who lost his way.

Im standing here so far from where I began

This journey has taken me much longer than I had planned 

I thought that I would be in and out

A quick stop and I would be on my way

To another place, a new adventure  

Yet I am still here today

Im stuck in the past 

Feeding on the memories that 

By now have faded away

I can vaguely picture a life filled with joy

One thats young and full of love

And full of life thats not yet lived

Yet I am stuck inside my sorrow 

I am trapped in a prison of pain

I can’t get out there is no escape. 

So I am stuck staring at the road 

Wondering how I got her

Thinking about where I will go 

If can I go anywhere at all

I wish I had never come at all 

I wish I had stayed where I belonged 

Because if Id stayed and hadn’t gone 

I would never have sang this song

Oh the life I could have lived

Oh the places that I could have seen

Had I never left the comfort

Of my sweet and simple home

But I longed for adventure 

For a life full of risk 

And my longing has brought me here 

To wonder what could have been
