Tim O'Brien - Into the West Lyrics

Lyrics Into the West - Tim O'Brien



Like wild geese we all have flown
Those ancient lands we once called home
So many mothers on it since
So many lovers only once
Gone away like all the rest
To find our fortunes in the west
Still the fire will always burn
Voices in the heart that cries return
Those emrald views so far away
Will haunt us back again someday
The rivers long
The waters wide
The west begins on the other side
Put a skip in your step now
Dry a tear from your eye
Turn around and wave goodbye
Brave the currents of time and tide
Till you see it from the other side
Its a wild dream
That never ends
Calls us all into the west
What takes us in to mystery
We leave behind a history
Like every sun that rose at dawn
Into the west we all have gone
Still the fire will always burn
Voice in the heart that cries return
Those emrald views so far away
Will haunt us back again someday
The river long
The waters wide
The west begins on the other side
Put a skip in your step now
Dry a tear from your eye
Turn around and wave goodbye
Brave the currents of time and tide
Till your safe on the other side
Its a wild dream
That never ends
Calls us all into the west
