On a Distant Shore Leon Russell

[Verse 1]
My poor heart sounds like a drum
On a mountain far away
I’m waiting here for my time to come
Can I keep the wolves at bay
These feelings are so dangerous
Like the fires of hell and more
No answers can be found
Bad news is at the door

[Verse 2]
I’m reaching out and nothing’s there
Just an empty bag of air
I feel a sadness everywhere, such a sad affair
Life doesn’t matter anymore
Bad news is knocking at my door
And I’m lost on a distant shore
