Well, they keep on taking my heart

And they keep on taking my soul

They keep taking an inch when I give them a mile

And now it seems its been a while since anyone smiled



They don't know me

They don't know me

They don't know me

They don't know me

But my name is on the highway sign, never look behind

All those troubles are gone, nothing left but to run

So meet me down and don't be shy

A place where we can hide

There ain't nothing to fear

There ain't no-one back here

But you and I and these cloudy skies



So it's time to leave our home

And see the faces we've out-grown

Through the years we've kept our backs to the wind

So long, farewell, good-bye my friend
