Lyrics
Searching
Heading for another town
Feeling tired and scared
Still can't find a single trace
Of the one who went away
Life for me has been real tough
He's been gone a while
Don't know why he had to go
He left and took my smile
Chorus
I turned around and he was gone
What I did I just don't know
Since he vanished from my life
I've been searching high and low
Running out of places
Can't be many more
I've got the strangest feeling
I've been here once before
So I must keep moving on
Not much time to rest
I don't care how long it takes
I'll never end my quest
I've not had any luck so far
I need some kind of sign
Left there by the man
That I once called mine
Chorus
I turned around and he was gone
What I did I just don't know
Since he vanished from my life
I've been searching high and low
Running out of places
Can't be many more
I've got the strangest feeling
I've been here once before
Today my spirits briefly soared
The euphoria didn't last
I thought that I had found you
But my hopes were dashed
I got to keep my chin up
I just need one big break
Till then I'll keep on searching
However long it takes
Chorus
I turned around and he was gone
What I did I just don't know
Since he vanished from my life
I've been searching high and low
Running out of places
Can't be many more
I've got the strangest feeling
I've been here once before
