Delia Fischer - Every Hopeful Corner Lyrics

One step forward, two steps back, I fear
Now I'm ready to retreat
Every hopeful corner I have turned
Led me down this dead-end street
Everything I fought for I have lost
Each one that I loved has flown
They are doing fine without me now
I'll just carry on alone

CHORUS:
Came to see the show
But I could not stay
Never saw the play
Gave my seat away
Lost my sense of time
Couldn't find the one
Only just begun
Now the song is done

Got a basket full of words of cheer
Cards and letters that I tossed
Let me be alone now with my tears
And the things that I have lost
You can turn the lights out when you go
Lately I prefer the dark
The sun will shine again someday, I know
Someday there will be a spark
(CHORUS)"
