Jack Minogue - In Retrograde Lyrics

I lost my way
On a walk in the palisades
Sat down to read
Under the Wisdom Tree

Words of the wise
That fill these pages with alibis
"Forget what you're told
Hope will save your soul"

Stuck in the fold
Waiting here just to sell my soul
Wasting away
For someone else's gain

Progress is made
But its still moving in retrograde
Misunderstood
For the greater good

Stuck in a way
Waiting patiently all the same
This place took its toll
But never swallowed me whole

Well I lost my way
Thought I might find my way back someday
But hope's getting old
It never saved my soul

I lost my way
On a walk in the palisades
Sat down to read
Under the Wisdom Tree

Well I lost my way
Thought I might find my way back someday
But hope's getting old
It never saved my soul
