Lost In the Wilderness - Dark Moody Dirge - Guitar and vocal

Lost In the wilderness is a dark moody depressing dirge in a weird alternate guitar tuning. I sing and play it fingerpicking style on acoustic guitar. I wrote this song sometime during the last millenium on a banjo that I briefly had and never learned how to play correctly back then but I did bang this song out on it. I added more reverb and a touch of echo on this one for atmospheric effect.

Where oh where have you gone
And where oh where will you go
I saw you walking in the rain
Your head bowed down to the wind
Bowed to the wind
Lost in the wilderness alone
Where will you go

Time keeps slipping away
Fate`s gaining on you everyday
Your body is withering in the sun
Somewhere new life has begun
Life has begun
Lost in the wilderness alone
Where will you go

The wind cries your name thru the trees
Your spirit can`t fly with broken wings
Hanging by a limb in mid air
And no one even knows you`re there
Hanging in the air
Lost in the wilderness alone
Where will you go
