Glass Hammer - The Mid-Life Weird lyrics

So far his life had seemed a
Battle not quite worth the fight
His dreams were turning sour
Lingering doubts to fill the wastes of night
The hour was late he
Clutched a sweat-soaked pillow
Tried to shake the dread, yeah
If only he could summon dreams of yesteryear
Before they fled beyond his head

Why only tears, why only sorrow
Oh, you only have to find
A way to free your mind and you'll see
Everything you hoped it could be in Vain
He tries to clear his mind but cannot
So no where to go the clock is ticking time
The years have fled, and now it shows
That time has robbed him of the joys of youth
As all his plans unwind, yeah
Yet time remains and so he grabs at
Life with one thing on his mind
What will he find?

Why only tears, why only sorrow
Oh, you only have to find
A way to free your mind and you'll see
Everything you hoped it could be
