I’ve travelled all other, and seen many faces.

I’ve seen the world, its many splendid places.

But now I look in the mirror and what do I see?

I see a sad looking man staring back at me.

To find happiness, a new place I need to find.

And leave all my troubles and cares, far behind.

Some place from the darkness, were I can hide.

An ocean or sea were ships can sail with pride.

The world right now is losing most of its appeal.

Torment and loneliness are the emotions I feel.

The hunger and passion for life, I feel have gone.

So, I desperately need a new place to carry on.

 

But when you are struggling, the world is small.

And closing in on me, I see many a brick wall.

You might never understand it’s so hard to explain.

But my search for a new place has ended in vain.

 

RIP Stuart Adamsom of Big Country fame, who sadly took his own life in 2001 aged just 42.
