Moved out west just to get away

Miles of sky and empty space

Mirrors my soul

I'm out here on my own



I got a new job and a couple new friends

There's even someone special,

I think I could start again

But every time we touch

It reminds me of us, and...



Chorus:

Every time I close my eyes

To go to sleep at night

I wake up and I see your face

Even in my dreams

I can't get anyplace

I can't shake off your lovin' chains

Your lovin' chains...



So I moved back east just to face my tears

To say what needs sayin' before you disappear

But old friends say you're gone

Long since moved on, now...



(Chorus)



I think I'm never gonna climb this mountain

Of my feelings for you

I'm gonna have to live here in your shadow

Until the skies are no longer blue!



(Chorus)
