Lyrics
- Been a long road to follow
- Been there and gone tomorrow
- Without saying goodbye to yesterday
- Are the memories I hold still valid?
- Or have the tears deluded them?
- Maybe this time tomorrow
- The rain will cease to follow
- And the mist will fade into one more today
- Something somewhere out there keeps calling
- Am I going home?
- Will I hear someone
- Singing solace to the silent moon?
- Zero gravity, what's it like?
- Am I alone?
- Is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet?
- Still the road keeps on telling me to go on
- Something is pulling me
- I feel the gravity of it all
