I need somewhere to lay me down,
I need something a gentle, soothing sound.
I need someone like you my friend,
'Cause sadness lingers, when sorrows end.
'Cause I had a mountain to climb,
And I took one step at a time,
And though I am glad to survive,
I'm still wiping tears from my eyes.
I've been to a dark and lonely place,
And anguish was marked on my face,
And now that my troubles have gone,
Still I feel battered and worn.
