I heard the wind today
telling me to go
I felt the train depart
to take me from the coast
I watched my city sleep
like a restless soul with nowhere else to go.
Sorrows go on for years
like the tears in widows eyes
lessons all stay the same
while the days give in to nights
I watched the oceans rise
and asked myself "How can I leave this town?"
I can feel those winds blow,
so many roads
in Ontario
Gotta breathe in real slow
where will I go,
God only knows
so far, so long
God only knows
It's crowding the empty streets
and every champage glass
A lingering voice that speaks
Lest I repeat the past
I'm lookin at empty streets
and wonder If I'll make it out this time
I want you closer now
in the messages I send
but I'm watching our candles burn
depleting at the ends
I'm lookin at everyone
tellin me no better time to run
If I go
there is one thing you should know
this land is not my home
I'm leaving for the coast
