Lyrics

I crossed the river twice
at the path of least resistance
held my mount steady
I fought to keep her in stride
singing: ''I'm gonna quit your world
but first I must embrace you''
I must see everything
I must see heaven, of earth

(Chorus): Still I wish I was somewhere else
can't tell you why/ can't tell you where
I just keep moving on

He had a look in his eyes
like he was thinking of a woman
and he crossed my path twice
when I wasn't looking
the sands of the desert swirled
up and blinded him
I had to turn my face
with my hands I closed my eyes

(Chorus) Still I wish I was somewhere else...

Between two fires I ran
to the edge of the horizon
fleeing from the brittle past
as if fleeing from flames
I can't believe there are no clowns today
on my distant shores
there is no music in the desert
only the sound of my heart

(Chorus) Still I wish I was somewhere else...

I leaped forth from the darkness
when it seemed the storm had passed
singing: '' its nice to see the sun again
after dreaming all my life''
Oh, which way to go, with no one to follow
north until my bellies full
or westward with the light

(Chorus): Still I wish I was somewhere else...

The miles are very long
the road recedes too quickly
if I can cross the desert
I feel things will be alright
but if I’m lost I will take comfort
and embrace the haze
speak with the prophets
and exchange bitter wine

(Chorus): Still I wish I was somewhere else...
