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
