Looking for Something to Follow

I count the minutes, hours and days, dear
The weeks out of months and into years, dear
I've got so much left to give
But for what do I really have to live?

I try to bless myself with boredom
But I still feel cursed and burdened
Every day is trying on me
Why, I can't say, why I can't just be

There's always something missing still
I can't find my place or will
I keep on keeping on the wheel
Like a lab-rat, sick and ill

There's no tomorrow, just endless sorrow
Give me an answer that I can borrow
And give back to you some other day
Oh, if you would just show me the way

I count the minutes, hours and days, dear
Weeks out of months and into years, dear
I've got so much left to give
But for what do I really have to live?

Effortless days that wile away
While I sit drinking in the shade
All I want is to appreciate
Get myself to that perfect place

There's no tomorrow, just endless sorrow
Give me an answer that I can borrow
And give back to you some other day
Oh, if you would just show me the way
