On a Distant Shore

[Verse 1]
My poor heart sounds like a drum
On a mountain far away
I’m waiting here for my time to come
Can I keep the wolves at bay
These feelings are so dangerous
Like the fires of hell and more
No answers can be found
Bad news is at the door

[Verse 2]
I’m reaching out and nothing’s there
Just an empty bag of air
I feel a sadness everywhere, such a sad affair
Life doesn’t matter anymore
Bad news is knocking at my door
And I’m lost on a distant shore

[Interlude: Solo trumpet and background vocals]
(Dip do waddy waddy)
(Dip do waddy waddy)
(Dip do waddy waddy)
(Dip do waddy waddy)
(Dip do waddy waddy)
(Dip do waddy waddy)
(Dip do waddy doo wah)

[Bridge]
The tears are falling faster now, I’m feeling so undone
Sounds like a funeral for some person here and I might be the one

[Verse 3]
And bad news (dip do waddy waddy)
Is knocking at my door (dip do waddy waddy)
Life doesn’t matter anymore
I know you’ve heard it all before (doo wah)
I hear the sound of violins
Is this how the story ends?
And I’m lost on a distant shore
