Losing the Way (1975)

Young man you must realize and you must know
That there is no place else to go
And something left your life last night
Wonder still if you were right?

There's no sky to look at anymore
And you've forgotten about the door
The one that left your life astray
Find yourself another day

The road was endless and straight
And someone stood alone
Picking up a memory late
And taking it on home

That living memory you can't possess
Is gone and won't return
And what you've done is for the best
The teacher cannot learn

Dreams are those that run away
From friends they cannot trust
Something left your life today
And lost itself in lust

Strangers on the road of life
Become your silent friends
A husband soon betrays his wife
And follows all the trends

Can you turn a road around
And retrace a thousand steps?
The lotus girls, their feet are bound
A hundred years they've wept

Time will tell the reason why
You had the chance to be
The boy who caught the dragon fly
But never drank the tea.
