Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was sailin' down here on the wind
When I met you and I fell away again
Like a train in reverse down a dark road
Carrying the whole load
Just rattling the whole way home
[Chorus]
Have you fixed your eyes to the wind?
Will you let it pull you in again on the way back in?
I'm a bit run down here at the moment
Let me think about it, babe
Let me hold you
[Verse 2]
There's a cold wind blowing down my old road
Down the back streets where the pines grow
As the river splits the undertows
But I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't mind
Leave it hanging on the line
Lost inside my head
Is this the way I'll be denied, again?
[Chorus]
So I'll set my eyes to the wind
But it won't be easy to leave it all again
Just a bit run down here on the sea
There's just a stranger living in me
[Chorus]
As you set your eyes to the wind
And you see me pull away again
Haven't lost it on a friend
Just bit run down here at the moment
Yeah, I'm all alone here
Living in darkness
Alright
