One day I’ll return to this land, these shores, I know
But right now I need to find me a new piece of sky
To ease my mind

I’ve grown to like this place where I’ve spent most of my days
Know all the people around here by name and by face
But I must be on my way

But I beg of you, my sweet darling
To save a place for me, should I lose my way?
Cuz I’ve been known to take the wrong turns
At the wrong time, story of my life
But I just know I’ve gotta take this chance
Before I lose my nerve, before I’m making sense

So here I go, eyes closed, head first
Into the great unknown

It’s time, I free up my roots and seek my luck upstream
Down by the river’s where I’ve planted my tree
But now the river’s running dry

But I beg of you, my sweet darling
To save a place for me, should I lose my way?
Cuz I’ve been known to take the wrong turns
At the wrong time, story of my life
But I just know I’ve gotta take this chance
Before I lose my nerve, before I’m making sense

So here I go, eyes closed, head first
Into the great unknown

But I beg of you, my sweet darling
To save a place for me, should I lose my way?
Cuz I’ve been known to take the wrong turns
At the wrong time, story of my life
I just know I’ve gotta take this chance
Before I lose my nerve, before I’m making sense

I just know I’ve gotta take this chance
Before I lose my nerve, before I’m making sense
So here I go, eyes closed, head first
Into the great unknown
