Eternity road

I could be frequently picked and was i ever
I could say beautiful things yet i was not so clever
I doubt if i had ever been
A young thing with a sad face
I had my own natural wit
The sad thing was that i meant it

I took this more or less
As my personal load
My very own to struggle with
Down eternity road
As far as i know i was the first and i was somehow the only
As far as i know i won't be the last
It's better to be lonely
