Keep On Keeping On
Some time ago he knew someone
But now that she’s long gone
He’s got nothing to live for
But to keep on keeping on
He wakes up in the morning, He starts about his day
He climbs into the shower to wash his cares away
He doesn’t sing, he doesn’t speak, he doesn’t make a sound
His hands are in his pockets, His feet are on the ground
Some time ago he knew someone
But now that she’s long gone
He’s got nothing to live for
But to keep on keeping on
He’s walking through the forest, he walks beside the sea
He walks for it’s the only thing that lets him know he’s free
He walks for keeping occupied keeps memories at bay
And so he walks by day or night, through vibrant skies or day
Some time ago he knew someone
But now that she’s long gone
He’s got nothing to live for
But to keep on keeping on
He walks as far as he can go, his face set in a frown
He walks along the endless road that’s winding ever down
His footsteps make so little sound, they tread upon the stone
He gets a funny feeling that he’s never going home
Some time ago he knew someone
But now that she’s long gone
He’s got nothing to live for
But to keep on keeping on
He goes into the city, goes into a café
Is greeted by a waitress, she smiles and she says hey
He doesn’t hear what else she says, and doesn’t think he can
But looking in her eyes he knows that someone understands
Some time ago he knew someone
But now that she’s long gone
He’s found something to live for
So he keeps on keeping on
