A Lonely Chord

I never thought it mattered
Never thought it mattered so much
To me exactly where I put my feet
I was wrong
I drink a strong cup of coffee
A long time ago, I had a home
A corner where I could be alone
So goodbye my solid ground
I'm an engine, I won't break down
A lonely chord without a song
Searching for an orchestration where I belong
Where will I hang up my raincoat when this day is over?
Like a leaf without a tree
Nothing to cover over me
I'm like a character from a story
I don't exist
I owe a lot to these kids who are like family
They've helped me out with their endless generosity
