Lyrics

[Verse 1]

See the lazy windmill slowly turning

Cutting up the marble canyons of the sky

See the dust around my feet go churning

Moving with the winds down the highways of goodbye

[Verse 2]

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon

Looking over maps of memories for the road

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon

With the unexpected destination of my home

[Verse 3]

Half the thoughts I'm thinking speak in sighs

As that same old wave of loneliness returns

And I can see you when I close my eyes

Speaking very softly as you turn

[Verse 4]

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon

Looking over maps of memories for the road

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon

With the unexpected destination of my home

[Verse 5]

Now I must go

Go and let go

[Verse 6]

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon

Looking over maps of memories for the road

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon

With the unexpected destination of my home
