I wanna live in a land of lakes

Where the great waves break

And the night runs right into the day

I wanna be with ones I left

But I'm way out west

And the years keep on slipping away

I wanna run on the sacred dunes

Through the ancient ruins

Where the fires of my ancestors burned

I remember that fateful day

When I ran away

And you told me I couldn't return



You made me swear I'd never forget

I made a vow I'd see you again

I will be back one day, and I'll find you

There by the great big lake



I been running a long, long time

Trying to flee that life

But I can't seem to leave it behind

Wanna visit the windswept shores

Of a time before

When the moon and the stars were aligned

I remember the bright spring day

When you sparked that flame

And a fire that continues to burn

I remember the day I left

Headin' way out west

When you told me to never return
