Northwest is where I'm headed, Underneath the golden sky I'm searching for a wisdom That every man seeks to find I've got wicked thoughts a brewin' Many even deeds I've done I'm looking for a reason For a reason not to run
(Chorus) x2
I've always been dark With light somewhere in the distance
(Verse)
I've got no destination No place to call my own I'll explore the constellations Till I find the course I mean to hone But come fever or come famine Come the biting winter cold Just put two coins upon my eyelids So I can pay the poor man's toll
(Chorus) x2
I've always been dark With light somewhere in the distance
(Bridge)
I've been so unforgiving Stranded in old traditions
(Chorus) x2
I've always been dark With light somewhere in the distance
