There was a time, not long ago,
I put on music, night and day;
It was as if I didn’t know
How else to set life on its way.
And so I listened, day and night,
To ones who sang of this and that,
And did so with such sheer delight
I thought I knew where life was at.
But then I came to realise
The feelings that I felt weren’t mine –
Like looking through another’s eyes
Or drinking someone else’s wine.
So, now the discs stay on the shelf,
I get acquainted with myself.
