I have witnessed this before
The bitter sound of a closing door
But who am I to alter the rivers course?
Times have changed and spirits die
But you have never left my side
You are as much my blood as I am mine
The years are closing over head
And everything we’d left unsaid
Grips me by the chest every now and then
But what if we could break away?
Turn our ship around and stay
It is not too late for things to change
‘Cause I am busy running on an ending
And caught up in a journey I’m remembering
When I find the place to go
I will have my dreams to show
You and I will come out of our hiding
And move along the road forever winding
Through the sights I thought I’d seen
City streets on silver screens
Throwing down our load when we need rest
Watch the sun hanging low against the Midwest
Aching in my heart I’d say
Home is half a world away
The hills are turning blue above the burnt trees
The ocean just a whisper in the calm breeze
Part of me that I’ll have then
Where I cannot go again
Though you said we’d be okay
A shadow of a doubt remains
Of working out what I tried to evade
When I looked inside myself
I had lost what I had held
But you picked up my pieces where they fell
Back when promises were kept
Before the time that I would spend
Searching for the things I thought I’d left
So let the storms turn me around
I have seen enough and now
All I want is the dream that we had found
‘Cause I am busy running on an ending
And caught up in a journey I’m remembering
When I find the place to go
I will have my dreams to show
You and I will come out of our hiding
And move along the road forever winding
Through the sights I thought I’d seen
City streets on silver screens
Throwing down our load when we need rest
Watch the sun hanging low against the Midwest
Aching in my heart I’d say
Home is half a world away
The hills are turning blue above the burnt trees
The ocean just a whisper in the calm breeze
Part of me that I’ll have then
Where I cannot go again
