Treaded in the waters As the sun was setting down Behind the coastline I was only seventeen And didn't know what I was gonna find Waited for an answer while we burned Like fires in the night Gloria, you know I had to leave 'Cause all I need is somewhere I'll be free Embedded in the small town folk These lessons never learned by leaving home For a lifetime on the road Aching in my bitter bones The faults I seek out even though I've won Throwing all first stones Waiting for a miracle again The tide is rushing in Gloria, you know I had to leave 'Cause all I need is somewhere I'll be free Don't know know what's on my mind Can't you see in my eyes Soon we'll be by the wayside Why don't we seek it out Don't you know what's on my mind Can't you see in my eyes Soon we'll be by the wayside Why don't we seek it out Seek it out Gloria, you know I had to leave 'Cause all I need is somewhere I'll be free
