Far away I am today - I seldom do appear

But when I do, I understand exactly why I'm here

It's for the ones I have not met and things I do not know

For oftentimes familiar things mean that it's time to go

And in my dreams I cross rivers, streams, and roads deprived of names

Looking for that place that ain't the same

Looking for that place that ain't the same

I don't know where I will go next. Whether it be near or far

Perhaps to the darkest place to find the brightest stars

And when I'm there I'll draw a map connecting star to star

Constellations differing to show me I've come far

And in my dreams I cross rivers, streams, and roads deprived of names

Looking for that place that ain't the same

Looking for that place that ain't the same

When I look around and see the places that I long to be

I know that one belongs to me, but while away I've grown

Scenes bemuse and entertain a thousand thoughts, like drops of rain

They weave together without refrain - these memories remain

And in my dreams I cross rivers, streams, and roads deprived of names

Looking for that place that ain't the same

Looking for that place that ain't the same
