[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Left my heart with a man in those eastern woods
He is people-shy but his words are good
And I hope that he won't fade away

You just threw your pieces, they washed up on my shore
I have not lived any other way
It is my right to wander, I might choose to stay
[Chorus]
I will find God in the strangest place
[Verse 3]
I saw the sign for the old highway
You did cross my mind but it didn't change
I do hope that we meet again someday
Hope we meet again, I hope you never change
I hope that we meet again, hope you never change
[Instrumental]
