lyrics

I heard a sigh up on the ridge
Where the silver sage grew yesterday
in the big city there is no space
while here wild horses roam the valley

Over there the stars all stopped shining
And the people don’t know how to pray
From what he was, he went away
as he was a boy and she was astray

Em
oh I wonder where I’ve been
and the journey up ahead
C
so long goodbye, welcome life
there was a shadow on my path

(Break)

it hurt so much, he wish he’d known
How to soothe her, how to cope
With all the darkness that the world brought
at the doorstep of the home they lost

C (up)
When he sees new eyes,
He knows there’s still some life left to live
When he feels her pain, now he knows it’s not for him to fix

Em
oh I wonder where I’ve been
and the journey up ahead
C
so long goodbye, welcome life
there was a shadow on my path

Now take me with you around the bend,
Let’s break free of all the pain
Let’s grieve together, let’s cry it out
as it is time to stand up again
as it is time to stand up again

oh I wonder where we'll go
where the journey will take us
so long goodbye, welcome life
there was a shadow on our paths
so long goodbye, welcome life
sun is shining let’s go out
