lyrics

Seven years of hiding in the mountains
On the run, desperate and blind
Seven years of hiding from the memories
Never stopping once to look behind

Following my fears across the river
The Columbia’s waters rushing fast
But the river couldn’t wash away the longing
The river can’t return me to the past

So I held on tight, I saw it through
But all my thoughts came back to you
So I packed it up, I hit the road
And headed back, back home again

Storm clouds bearing down around me
And then the rains dropped from the sky
To think of everything behind me
Almost makes me want to cry

I tried my hand at gold up in Alaska
Tried to leave the Cascades far behind
As wintertime grew colder and grew darker
A numbness froze my heart and dulled my mind

So I held on tight, I saw it through
But all my thoughts came back to you
I packed it up and hit the road
Headed back, back home again

Running’s not a substitute for living
The ghosts are real and demons flood my eyes
I know that what I’ve done can’t be forgiven
The cruelty and the violence and the lies

I made it back to Washington in springtime
I washed away the heartache in the rain
I found a little cabin near the coastline
Forgot about the sorrow and the pain

I held on tight and I saw it through
And all my thoughts came back to you
I settled down, and started anew
Because I was back, back home again

I settled down, and started anew
Because I was back home again
