lyrics

Looking across the ocean, standing on the shore
I'd said come to find you, and on my life I swore
Tell my love she's blowin’ out to sea
When will you blow on back to me

Nine years have gone with nothing left to show
Just a box of photos from a life lived long ago
Tell my love she’s still in my heart
Through it all we’ve never been apart

Here I go, where I don’t know
Running til my shadow never grows

Here I go, where I don’t know
Tell me why these winds never blow
Her back home…

Locked up in the cellar, chained up to a bar
Torturin’ my soul, just wondering where you are
Tell my love I ain’t seen the day
Those memories have locked me away

Running to fast to think, thinking to fast to drive
I thought I saw her pass me, but I couldn’t trust my eyes
Tell my love I think I’m going blind
She’s still the back of my mind

Here I go, where I don’t know
Running til my shadow never grows

Here I go, where I don’t know
Tell me why these winds never blow
Her back home…

Back in the city, stumbling through the crowd
Looking for her face, in a haze of a cloud
Tell my love I’m back here all alone
Those cold winds will cut to the bone

Last time saw her she was standing on the beach
Frozen tear drops down the sides of her cheeks
Tell my love I keep no regrets
A love like our’s we won’t soon forget

Here I go, where I don’t know
Running til my shadow never grows

Here I go, where I don’t know
Tell me why these winds never blow
Her back home…
