Lyrics

Take me away from this place
Far from the noise and the City's embrace
Take me to somewhere that they know my face
There's so many steps now I need to retrace

And all of the secrets I thought I knew
And all of the things that I thought I would do
Shadows, illusions still coming through
lead me to someplace closer to you

Saving it up gotta give it away
A reason for coming's not a reason to stay
The lure of the bright lights beginning to fade
I'm playing the songs like they always been played

And all of the people I once knew
in all of the places I pass through
On all of the highways there's only a few
lead me to someplace closer to you.

I know the time it's coming soon
the singer forgets how to sing the tune
they pray for the rain as they stare at the sun
Irrelevant dust is all they've become

In all of the dreams that have almost come true
And all of their words we remember them too
I'll change my direction and wish that I knew
turn in the road brings me closer to you
turn in the road brings me closer to you
turn in the road brings me closer to you
turn in the road brings me closer to you
