Lost and Found

SAW AN OLD PICTURE STICKING OUT OF THE STACK
YOU HAD A RING AND A BRACELET
AND BY YOUR HAND A CIGARETTE PACK
HEY WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE DRINKING?
RIGHT NOW I COULD SWALLOW ONE DOWN
ALL MY LIFE, IN THIS SILENCE, I FIND
I AM LOST AND FOUND
LOST AND FOUND

NOT YOUR RESPONSIBLITY NOW TO HOLD ME
I'M BRACING FOR A FALL
YOU STAND AND WATCH IT ALL
YEAH SOMETIMES IT JUST ISN'T RIGHT
BUT I STILL HEAR THE VOICES IN THE NIGHT
SPEAK TO ME WITH ALL YOUR SOUND SAYING
I AM LOST AND FOUND
LOST AND FOUND

BEEN DRIFTING FAR TOO LONG AT SEA
CAN ANYONE COME AND RESCUE ME?
THE CHAINS OF LOVE ARE TIGHT
I'M CAPTIVE DAY AND NIGHT
THE RAIN KEEP POURING DOWN
WITH ALL THE DROPS AND ALL THE SOUND
I AM LOST AND FOUND
LOST AND FOUND

OCTOBER LEAVES ARE FALLING AROUND
ON A WET AND ALREADY RAINED ON GROUND
AS I PEER OUT THE WINDOWPANE
INTO A PICTURE, IN A FRAME
HALOED GLOW AROUND THE LIGHT
LINGERING FROM THE NIGHT
I WAS LOST AND FOUND
I AM LOST AND FOUND
LOST AND FOUND
LOST AND FOUND
