Now the last bus has left me
out here on my own
in this cold, grey city
wishing I was at home
I sit down in a doorway
on this dark empty street
as ticket stubs and cigarette papers
swirl round at my feet
And I go
far off in my mind
to where you are
Now the night comes crawling
and the day it is dead
I hear my home country calling
small voice in my head
As the city is sleeping
I lie awake
impatiently waiting
for a new day to break
So I go
far off in my mind
to where you are
Now the leaving’s not easy
and it only gets worse
with all the sweet things you tell me
are they a blessing or curse
If there’s some other way lord
would you please take this cup
for my soul it has left me
I gotta go catch it up
So I’ll go
far off in my mind
to where you are
Yeah I’ll go
far off in my mind
to where
my mind to where you are
