While this is the third track on the album, it is actually the 1st novel by the fictitious author, George Ranger Johnson. This changes the interpretation of the song from being Lord Huron’s arrival on this island to GRJ’s (George Ranger Johnson) setting of the scenes for the rest of the novels. This...
[Verse 1]
I land on an island coast
Where the only souls I see are ghosts
I run through a wooded isle
And I chase the sunlight mile after mile
And I feel like I know this place
As the tree line breaks into wide-open space
I stare at a bright red sun
Though I search all day, I never find anyone
[Verse 2]
I walk on a winding road
In the deep of the night near the edge of the known
I pass by a moonlit lake
And a cold wind blows and my bones start to shake
And I feel I should know this place
As the road winds on into wide-open space
The wind plays a haunting tone
As I make my way through the night all alone
[Chorus]
I been dreaming again of a lonesome world
Where I'm lost and I've got no friends
Just the rocks and the trees in my lonesome dreams
And a road that don't never end
I been dreaming again of a lonesome world
Where I'm lost and I'm on my own
What am I destined to be? It's a mystery, baby
Just please don't leave me alone, yeah
[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
I lie under starlit sky
And the seasons change in the blink of an eye
I watch as the planets turn
And the old stars die and the young stars burn
But I don't really know this place
And it's lonesome here in the wide-open space
Can it be as real as it seems?
Maybe this time, I won't wake from the dream
[Chorus]
I been dreaming again of a lonesome world
Where I'm lost and I've got no friends
Just the rocks and the trees in my lonesome dreams
And a road that don't never end
I been dreaming again of a lonesome world
Where I'm lost and I'm on my own
What am I destined to be? It's a mystery, baby
Just please don't leave me alone, yeah
[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
