The Return
The flame had burnt out the fire
before my time, a weary traveller
Going west with a suitcase full of broken dreams
and a heart full of rusted nails
Fake smile as I pass through the gate
I'm praying for the sweet release
CHORUS:
Oooh (x2)
I need to feel the sun and wind and the beating of a heart
shining on through in the middle of the dark
Hoping and holding onto something new
trusting that he saved the best for last
The long road to wherever I needed to be
lasts a lifetime when you don't know where to stop
Twenty thousand miles of crying in the heat and rain
Guess sometime you just have to lose it all
before you can find yourself in the middle of the storm
Holding onto a crazy heart east of Mesquite
BRIDGE:
Funny how a country rips an emotion right on open
Then you got to me, calmly felt the faint beating in slow motion
Your kiss put it all back together on the 276
And the junction felt like home in the middle of nowhere
I feel the sun and wind and the beating of your heart
shining through on me in the middle of the dark
Leavin’ my heart in Texas on that long road home
Reminded every step of the way that a dead heart could beat again
Knowing that he saved the best for last in Temple
