lyrics

Throwing out these old books and letters
They’ve collected years‘ worth of dust
I’ve nothing to carry, I’ve nothing to keep
Me down when I run

I’ll unwrap the dream of a morning
When I don’t long so impatiently
After a taste of the unknown highway
That lies within me

Are we now ready to come back
And make it right again
Between us and all our ideas
We’ve been trying to defend

Fields littered with metal towers
And cut through the middle by roads
Sunlight breaking through clouds in the distance
And the planes are flying low

Behind your heart I found an island
And no one was welcome for long
I made my way over on a thin connection
And forgot which way I was going
