lyrics

HOW IT FEELS

I don’t know how it feels to be someone’s one and only
I don’t know how it feels to let love carry me away
But I know how it feels to wake up lost and lonely
And to lie alone in the silence with so much to say
******

I don’t know how it feels to sleep on sheets of satin
I don’t know how it feels to have a lover by my side
But I know how it feels to be filled with pride and passion
And to try in vain to explain why the fire burns inside

CHORUS

Narrow is the road that runs to the far horizon
Heavy is the load the solitary dreamer bears
Cool is the wind of the hushed October morning
As the Southbound swallows take to the air
******

I don’t know how it feels to court a rich man’s daughter
I don’t know how it feels to be among the chosen few
But I know how it feels to cast bread upon the water
And to hope for small repayments for all the good I’ve tried to do (Chorus)
