Goin' Back

Goin' Back

(album: Comes A Time - 1978)

In a foreign land
There were creatures at play
Running hand in hand
Needing no where to stay
Driven to the mountains high
They were sunken
in the cities deep
Living in my sleep.

I feel like going back
Back where
there's nowhere to stay
When fire filled the sky
I'll still remember that day
These rocks I'm climbing down
Have already left the ground
Careening through space.

I used to build these buildings
I used to walk next to you
Their shadows tore us apart
And now we do what we do
Driven to the mountains high
Sunken in the cities deep
Living in our sleep.

I feel like going back
Back where
there's nowhere to stay.
