Lyrics
Searching for the answers
In the same old silly places
And I wonder why I can't feel at home
Even when I'm right here in my home
Stealin' all the glances
From the same old silly faces
And I wonder why I still feel alone
Even with the world under my toes
Still I find the reasons for the same old gut reactions
Maybe then the healing starts to unfold
Or perhaps that notion's only for the bold
Dare I steal a breath, can I be sound in consternation
'Cause I still can't seem to find a way to go
Even when I know all that I know
Something fills me with that achin'
Sigh
But my will compels me ev'ry time I
Die
And in winter's fury please stay by my
side
May the breeze break swiftly with the changing
Tide
Something fills me with that achin'
Sigh
But my will compels me ev'ry time I
Die
And in winter's fury please stay by my
side
May the breeze break swiftly with the changing
Tide
Searching for the answers
In the same old silly places
And I wonder why I can't feel at home
Even when I'm right here in my home
