Seems like a thousand days And there can be no doubt His mind was in a haze And he was so worn out He lost serenity Within a fractured life With no apology He knew that he was right But his eyes they did not see Heading for a tragedy To prove his innocence He'll take it to the grave In his deliverance Somebody could be saved And the world he could not face Prayin' for a state of grace He was looking for a sign He was selfish and unkind Gave his life to the divine Inside his caravan He pulled the shutters down And will he ever see What all the others found? He stood upon the roof Get closer to the sky Condition critical No time to wonder why But his eyes they could not see Heading for a tragedy He was looking for a sign He was selfish and unkind Gave his life to the divine And the world he could not face Prayin' for a state of grace He was looking for a sign He was selfish and unkind Gave his life He was looking for a sign He was selfish and unkind Gave his life to the divine He gave his life
