Not One Step Behind - Brook Benton, Dinah Washington

Watching remains from dust

Expecting to unhinge all the signs

From this thoughts

I just can’t keep clearmy mind

Waiting, (for) my breathe inside

Why am I escaping

If I do not wish to wake up?

There’s no way to pull me out

I don’t belong to this hell!

Faceless, my dignity

In my world of mirrors

Lies is the truth

Destiny cannot stare me

I shouldn’t be a piece of you

Fearless, your hands on me

Taking away this life from me

All the past hasn’t existed

My dreams are gone

This isn’t what I wanted it to be…

Every moment in this place

I just look back, and live to wait

Hearing no words, lips are sealed

Rime of secrets unraveled

I’ve lost this life, now it’s done

But I still feel

That thread keeping me

How can I ease this pain

Spinning in my head?

Answers coming and going

All the time

I don’t have enough to waste

It’s right

And I fell so empty as I bleed

Flashes of my days

Tearing my eyes

Holding down my hands

Now I can’t fight

And I pray the L

Ord to finnish this

I just can’t go on

There’s no strenght

I’ll learn the last dance tonight

And once I’m ready, I can’t go back

I am just one step behind

No matter where I am

Or I’m supposed to be

No questions to be answered, I am free
