Standard (EADGBE)

When you were young you were protected

When you were growing you were sheltered

But when you reached your adult years

You were left alone

And you had no-one to rely on

No one to care for you

A lost soul in search of some kind of shelter and protection

Chorus

Now where do you run

Where do you hide

When you need a hole to crawl in

Where do you go?

I found that in our darkest hour

The young ones that I knew and loved well

Beckoned with the memory

Of their alluring spell

And so I gathered up my senses

Bade one and all godspeed

If my ways were what you desired then love is what you must need

(Chorus)

I tried to find a consolation

But realized that deep down inside

Consolation is but yet

My all despairing pride

And now I'm dark eyed and bewildered

My guts can feel the strain

My mouth is dry, my chest is tight, and my forehead's lined with the pain

(Chorus)
