One day I'll return to this land, these shores, I know But right now I need to find me a new piece of sky To ease my mind I've grown to like this place where I've spent most of my days Know all the people around here by name and by face But I must be on my way But I beg of you, my sweet darling To save a place for me, should I lose my way Cos I've been known to take the wrong turns At the wrong time, story of my life But I just know I've gotta take this chance Before I lose my nerve, before I'm making sense So here I go, eyes closed, head first Into the great unknown It's time I free up my roots and seek my luck upstream Down by the river's where I've planted my tree But now the river's running dry But I beg of you, my sweet darling To save a place for me, should I lose my way Cos I've been known to take the wrong turns At the wrong time, story of my life But I just know I've gotta take this chance Before I lose my nerve, before I'm making sense So here I go, eyes closed, head first Into the great unknown
