Lyrics
This Way Back
written by Mike Webb
Well I hit the road?You hit the door
We said good-bye?without a single word.
Now, I?m on my own?but I ain?t free
You?re the ghost in every crowd? your face I see.
In my heart I will find a way
To let my heart come to you and say
Is it this way back.
Well, I?m down on luck?and I don?t know why
All the nights they fall?they make the sound of cryin?
But I won?t give up?no, I won?t go down
As I hold my coat?it?s cold against the crowd.
I can?t help keeping you holdin? on
To a sinkin? ship?I?ve been sailin? on
Is it this way back
Is it this way back
This way back to you
(Interlude)
We had times?remember when
There is time enough to have that time again
Just turn around?look at me
Make it two of us?the next thing that you see
Turn around?.turn around.
Is it this way back
Is it this way back
This way back to you
