Song Lyrics
Written by Tommy Shaw
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw
I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
I used to think that everything was fine
Sometimes I`d like to sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams
All alone and trapped in time
All alone and trapped in time
I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
Or am I even in it`s mind at all
Perhaps I`ll get a chance to look ahead and see
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Tell me, tell me where I`m going
I don`t know where I`ve been
Tell me, tell me, won`t you tell me
And then tell me again
My heart is breaking, my body`s aching
And I don`t know where to go
Tell me, tell me, won`t you tell me
I`ve just got to know
Crystal ball
There`s so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There`s so many things I`ve got to know
Crystal ball
["extra verse" used occasionally live]
If you should see me walking
Through your dreams at night
Would you please direct me
Where I ought to be
I`ve been looking for a crystal ball
To shed the light
To find a future in me...
To find a future in me...
Crystal ball
There`s so many things I need to know
Crystal ball
There`s so many things I`ve got to know
Crystal ball
