come and walk one more mile


i remember when i used to believe
in the power of truth, and i wasn't deceived
but i haven't heard your voice in a while
have you lost my address, or forgotten to dial?

     i've been feeling like i'm lost and alone
     am i comfortably numb, only warm in my home?

i remember that i used to believe
if you worked really hard, you were sure to receive
though that habit hasn't faded away
i have got to admit, i might be chasing the pay

     but it's empty now what i feel inside
     i've forgotten the dream, i'm adrift in the tide

so i'm waiting for a message from you
in my innocent way, i believed you were true
just a quick hello and i would be fine
just a how have you been, or am i wasting my time?

     is it all just a joke and a smile
     or a challenge to come and walk one more mile

i didn't realize it mattered to me
i never noticed a pause, i never bothered to see
now your memory's fading out of my mind
i still feel that i'm lost, but now i've run out of time
