Lyrics

It was a night, yeah, the kind of night
Left me pacing 'cross the floor
It was a dream, like those other dreams
So many times before

I went back to the old town
To the streets I used to roam
And I looked into my daddy's eyes
And asked that fatal question, "why'd
You have to go?"

You had to go

There was a time when life was good
And everything felt so right
I don't know why, I never understood
Why you left us on that night

I went back, to that day when you left us on our own -
Now I look into my baby's eyes
And I just know there is no way
I'd ever go

I'll never go

Take me to the mountainside
Far away from here
Where my eyes are open wide -
No one gets too near
