turned the corner lyrics

I turned a corner
It didn't seem that was wrong
I was just having a laugh
But suddenly my friends are gone
And I didn't know that life would be so long

I turned the clock
And went around the block
Thought I was just having a laugh
But suddenly my world was gone
And I found myself standing alone

I thought I was fighting the ebb of life
I thought I was cutting the web and the strife
But I look at the mirror where there used to be a smile
Now I see a stranger
