Slowly he's walking. Walking away

Don't ask where he's going, don't ask him to stay

For his dreams are broken, and so is his hope 

You see, he's had more than he can cope

One thing he knew when he was leaving

Was that what was never there cannot be missing

For he's a shadow, a speck in the dust 

With no one to love and no one to trust 

He cries today, soon he'll be gone

Only this time, he won't return
