lyrics

I think I am lost oh, I think I am loosing my way! there’s no hope in my words and no truth to whatever I say
oh my mind is in one place and I’m following best that I can
but my feet just wont listen and my heart she has other plans

come the wind come the rain come the frost and the snow
I’ll go the places I know all the others will go
and I sing down the stairwells of places that I’d rather be
and wait for the moment when you come to comfort me

for when I am lonely I hold far too tight
to the things that I ought to let be

I’m going to Rio to see, oh a whole other sky!
I hope that the people and places will soon show me why
we work and we work just to work for another day
just seek a new sunrise, isn’t that what they always say

for when I am lonely I hold far too tight
to the things that I ought to let be
and if I’m alone on this cold winter’s night
I’d hope you’d be thinking of me

I know I shouldn’t be
waiting for you to come back
but it it is calling me
I know I shouldn’t be
waiting for you to come back
but it it is calling me

so leave the light on ! to help me see
leave the light on
to help me see…
