[Chorus]
Lost, I am lost on the vale of emotion
Tossed, like a stone on the stream set in motion
Held, like a leaf in the wind
We could not but spin and roll
Glad, that our hearts were full
And we could live beyond control
[Verse 1]
In your upstairs room we could hear the train
As it pulled out west on the C.P. Main
We had followed that course one short year before
When the sea called us to its side once more
And words we spoke in quiet haste
The time was ours and ours to waste
Left to ourselves we might shrink and die
You said yes to life and so must I
[Chorus]
But I'm Lost, I am lost on the vale of emotion
Tossed, like a stone on the stream set in motion
Held, like a leaf in the wind
We could not but spin and roll
Glad, that our hearts were full
And we could live beyond control
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
And the wineglass gleams in the candlelight
Like molten amber for just one night
And our thoughts they are cast on that self same fire
Ablaze with that urge and that one desire
A heart set to walk to road
Aware of the weight but not the load
My hand's on the reign and I'm on my way
I won't deal with tomorrow till I'm through with today
[Chorus]
But I'm Lost, I am lost on the vale of emotion
Tossed, like a stone on the stream set in motion
Held, like a leaf in the wind
We could not but spin and roll
Glad, that our hearts were full
And we could live beyond control
But I am lost
