Ask me where I'm going
And I'll tell you where I've been.
Ask me who I am
And I'll say that I'm your friend.
Ask me what I'm doing
And I'll tell you I don't know.
Just trying to live through life
And now it's time to go.
Back when I was just a kid
I used to think the world was big,
But really it ain't that big at all.
(Not at all)
Foreign land in far away
Until I learned the truth one day,
In reality the world's quite small.
(World so small)
I sailed across the sea
To find another place to be
Where I could live so happily,
That would be the life for me.
I wanted to fly the sky so vast,
In a Jetplane traveling fast,
Looking out the looking glass,
Watching the clouds go past.
Ask me where I'm going
And I'll tell you where I've been.
Ask me who I am
And I'll say that I'm your friend.
Ask me what I'm doing
And I'll tell you I don't know.
Just trying to live through life
And now it's time to go.
I've been high and I've been low,
Seems like everywhere I go
Is a place I could call home.
(Home sweet home)
Yesterday is in my shadow
And today is a new battle,
Tomorrow's the great unknown.
(Great unknown)
But my ticket beds are pet.
Forcing my head no turning back.
The smoke is white, the coal is black,
The engine's pushing off this track.
Ship is setting sail again.
It's just me against the wind.
Where loneliness is my old friend.
Who comes to visit now and then.
(A time will come for all of us
To test that element of trust,
To climb aboard that paddlebus
That turns our ashes into dust.)
Ask me where I'm going
And I'll tell you where I've been.
Ask me who I am
And I'll say that I'm your friend.
Ask me what I'm doing
And I'll tell you I don't know.
Just trying to live through life
And now it's time to go.
