All My Possessions

One more corner to turn

One more lesson to learn

One more gentle word would be the last I ever heard

But ain't no one gonna give that to me now

Then at once I'm taken outside

All at once I hear you say goodnight

And just once will you allow me to stay

You shake your head and say you've got to get back to your fight

I have all my possessions inside

And I run though the streets of my life

And I cannot tell my dreams from the memories I believe

But all and all it keeps me alive

No more corners to turn

No more lessons to learn

One last night of sleep and then I am my brother's to keep

But it makes no difference to them now

Then at once I'm taken outside

All at once I hear you say goodnight

And just once will you allow me to stay

You shake your head and say you've got to get back to your fight

I have all my possessions inside

And I run though the streets of my life

And I cannot tell my dreams from the memories I believe

But all and all it keeps me alive

All my life it comes around

I see the boys just like they were before

And you're there too

Sitting on the stoop and waving

All my life it comes around

I see us all just like we were before

And you're there too

Without another soul to save

I have all my possessions inside

And I run though the streets of my life

And I cannot tell my dreams from the memories I believe

But all and all it keeps me alive

I have all my possessions inside

And I run though the streets of my life

And I cannot tell my dreams from the memories I believe

But all and all it keeps me alive
