"I Could Say"

I could say,
Ah, Lord,
Still my soul!

Standing alone
In the twilight-

Looking down
From a hill,
Where there's
A river
Running deep
And slow-

The day
Seemed
To have
Gone on
Forever-

But now,
I face
The
Approaching
Night:

As I realize
There's no place
For me to go...

And as I
Cast my eyes
About me,
I think
To myself:

Oh, no!

Oh, no-

Oh, no-

Oh, no-

Oh, no!

But it doesn't
Change anything- anything-

So as I
Was first
Thinking,
What I
Could say,
I do say:

I say,
Ah, Lord,
Still my soul!

My soul-

My soul-

My soul-

My soul!

And as for
Anything else,
I just don't know:

I don't know!

Don't know-

Don't know-

Don't know-

Oh, no!

I say,
And in tears
I admit-

I very simply just don't know!

I don't know.
