Lyrics
Don't know what it's coming to. DOn't know how it ends. Don't know if you're foe or if you're friend. Don't know what I'm gonna do. Don't know where I stand. Don't know if I should break when I should bend.
And the oracle has spoken and the cards have all been cast. And the tower crumbles down into the clay.
Don't know if I'm honor bound. Don't know what I know. Don't know if I'll stay or if I'll go. Don't know if I'm whole and sound. Don't know ease from woe. Should I bottle it inside? I don't know.
I was prepared to love you till the sun and stars had passed and the moon no longer gave into the day.
Don't know what it's coming to. Don't know how it ends. Don't know if you're foe or if you're friend. Don't know what I'm gonna do. Don't know where I stand. Don't know if I should break when I should bend.
And the snow falls down the mountain and the river rises fast. And the storms roll in and blow my cares away.
