On My Way Back

lyrics

Getting back to town, it isn't as easy as it seems
When you've been up all night
With bad dreams
I dreamt that I was falling, in reverse in the air
Flying alone
Wasn’t malice, wasn’t fair

The smell of gasoline, from the handle and the cap
But I'm on my way back, I'm on my way back
On my way back

Maybe I'll just keep driving, when I get there
Go up north
and be in exile in the oaks
Exile in the firs, Exile in the birch

And stay until the winter won't let me go
Her good arms around me,
Her cold arms around me

It's not as easy as it seems
To drive away your dreams

But I'm on my way back
On my way back
The smell of gasoline
From the handle and the cap
Not as easy as it seems
To drive away your dreams
