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
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
