West

[Verse 1]
I was a bird sailing on high
Splitting the blue indigo sky
Holding the line, doing my best
Trying to get west

[Verse 2]
Mountains of night, oceans of day
Clearing the great white motorway
Close to the coast, far from the nest
Heading out west

[Chorus]
Oh, now I know how quickly the wind can change
I took a wrong turn and I was never the same

[Verse 3]
Years turned to dust, stars fell like snow
I held my wings up, kept my head low
An infinite heart beat through my chest
Taking me west

[Verse 4]
And all the time I was reminded of the places I left behind
The half remembered faces haunted my mind
But I couldn't rest until I got west

[Chorus]
Oh, now I know how quickly the wind can change
I took a wrong turn and I was never the same

[Bridge]
And I feel real gone
I still dream of the spires and telephone wires
My beautiful

Going west
Heading west
Going west

[Verse 5]
I was a bird sailing on high
Splitting the blue indigo sky
Holding the line, doing my best
Trying to get west
