Furthest From the Sun

As I wander madly long this sun-cracked river bed
A hundred carrion crows are circling high above my head
They cast an evil shadow as they wheel and cry above
Me, I'm just walking down the river searching for-

Hey! Where is the place where I belong
Carry on carry on carry on
Back to the place where you belong

The clouds hang deep and heavy
As I see the house below
A wind both kind and fragrant melts the last remnants of snow
I'm crazy and you know it as I walk this final mile
Me, I'm just walking down the river searching for-

Hey! Where is the place where I belong
Carry on carry on carry on
Back to the place where you belong

A cat slinks out beneath me as I take a step inside
The dust lies thick and heavy on the things I owned with pride
The memory of your face still lingers, and your spirit too
Me, I'm just walking down the river searching for-

Hey! Where is the place where I belong?
Carry on carry on carry on
Back to the place where you belong
