Here I Stand

Here I stand
Less than two years from sixty
Snowflakes in my hair and beard
I should sit things out
I should be exhausted from the search 
I should accept defeat without shame 
Like a leafless tree I have become 
In this station in life
Death Is the conductor 
My spirit should be ready for flight 
Oblivion street calls out my name 
The road is an easy one

I have little strength left
The journey is winding down 
The blue skies darken 
The doubt comes from the shadows 
I cannot find the path
There is not enough light 

Tell me, am I am just a fool?
Obscurity is so profound 
I sing for you
Sometimes I think you can hear me
As my voice dies down

The blue skies darken 
In my dreams I fly toward the sun
As an infant 
The wind tosses me around 
I deserve more than solitude 
Tomorrow I might feel different
