On a Distant Shore - Leon Russell

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

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 on my door

And I’m lost on a distant shore

Dip do waddy waddy

Dip do waddy waddy

Dip do waddy waddy

Dip do waddy waddy

Dip do waddy waddy

Dip do waddy waddy

Dip do waddy waddy

The tears are falling faster now

I’m feeling so undone

Sounds like a funeral for some person here

And I might be the one

And bad news is knocking at my door

Life doesn’t matter anymore

I know you’ve heard it all before

I hear the sound of violins

Is this how the story ends

And I’m lost on a distant shore
