I’ve been confined and I’ve been reminded Of everything that I don’t want to know Instead of flying I’ve been trying so hard To escape the things that I have outgrown I made my way down to the west coast I put my feet in the sand Waved goodbye to the old ghosts And hello to the man that I am I was surprised when I realized We’ve only got so much time These old pictures, they don’t all fit here Within my new frame of mind I made my way down to the west coast I put my feet in the sand Waved goodbye to the old ghosts And hello to the man that I am Goodbye, goodbye. goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye. goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I made my way down to the west coast I put my feet in the sand I waved goodbye to the old ghosts And hello to the man that I am Hello to the man that I am Hello to the man that I am

I held you tight, as if it would not last The night – with no light – it wouldn’t seem to pass My words, empty like my promises I cursed you I was trying to let you know, that I could never let you go I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat Now it seems I’ve lost control, but from what I do not know You go down, down, down, down, down To the deep blue I hoped that you would float, up to the surface But you sunk like a stone, down through the ocean Just like a knife, cutting through my soul I lost my grip, and with it my control I was trying to let you know, that I could never let you go I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat Now it seems I’ve lost control, but from what I do not know You go down, down, down, down, down You go down, down, down, down, down Go grab yourself a cigarette And smoke it until that ash burns red It comes back to you – we’ve gone full circle And yes it’s true, I still yearn for you And my hands are stained, from the blood of this slaughter And you are gone in the depths of the water I was trying to let you know, that I could never let you go I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat Now it seems I’ve lost control, but from what I do not know You go down, down, down, down, down To the deep blue To the deep blue

It happened late one night I was walking circles I couldn’t find myself a place to hide There was rustling in the trees There were eyes staring back at me I recognized the broken soul inside Goodbye for now, goodbye forever I will never come this way again Because I am lost forever with the wind I wish I was a sailor Then I would sail the oceans I would find a place to call my own I would separate myself From all that I have done I’d find a place to rest my tired bones Goodbye for now, goodbye forever I will never come this way again Because I am lost forever with the wind Don’t look to me to love and to hide you For what is it that I have to give Oh now you’re begging and you’re pleading Oh my heart is bleeding I will never see you again Goodbye for now, goodbye forever I will never come this way again But now you’re begging and you’re pleading Oh my heart is bleeding I will never see you again Because I am lost forever I am lost forever Oh I am lost forever with the wind With the wind With the wind With the wind

Don’t you realize my darling That everyone you know is falling through Even you Tell me once again your secrets I promise that I will keep them safe this time At the edge of my mind When it’s cold outside, And you’ve got no place to hide When you’re wandering And you're hoping that you won’t find the bitter end Just walk in silence, don’t invite the fall When you pray the Lord’s forgiveness Do you ever stop to think that no one’s listening Oh but you must There’s Jesus in the Holy Scriptures, Read the book and get the picture That he’s got no time for us When it’s cold outside And you’ve got no place to hide When you’re wandering And you’re hoping that you won’t find the bitter end Just follow silence, don’t invite the fall As you wander in search of something Hoping that it will stem from nothing much Is that lust? The silence spawns in all directions Close your eyes – it’s true perfection The darkness encircles us When it’s cold outside And you’ve got no place to hide When you’re wandering And you’re hoping that you won’t find the bitter end I will catch you if you choose to fall
