lyrics

We set out on Central Time
Waltzing asleep, awake on a dime
On my knees, waiting for the undertow
Now I look back on a stranger's land
With a long, suspicious glance
Marchin' on...I say goodbye to all I know

Well maybe I just couldn't forget
The call of the wild, the storm of revenge
I'd offer up my last defense to hear your name
But I guess you're already gone
Already gone

Down in this torrential world
I can't find the golden earth
Rocks cry out, weeping in a hurricane
But I saw you in an empty tomb
Lying in the mist of a ruin
Someday I will see you in a better place

So roll on down this telephone wire
And find me on this trail of desire
Set your love upon the front door
'Til only you will know I'm already home
Already home

And I still hold your ring of pearl
Hoping for a brave new world
Walk on through these empty miles
With your angels on my side

Stronger than a soul in need
I can feel your aching dreams
In my tears, collapsing in the wilderness

So roll on down this telephone wire
And find me on this trail of desire
Set your love upon the front door
'Til only you will know

Roll on down this telephone wire
And find me on this trail of desire
Set your love upon the front door
'Til only you will know
