Far away in the distance
Looking back on those days
Seeing the patterns and old ways
A familiar feeling came over me
I gotta go, gotta go
Who should I be
Oh such a lost soul
Dust in the wind
Looking to give it a new spin
It was written in each line
Sadness and pain
Knowing there's nobody to blame
And we watched it burn with the memories
All the ashes of an unrequited dream
And a hope that died so suddenly
Can't take it back now
Gotta let it be
All the way at the bottom
A kaleidoscope scene
Beckoned and brought me to my knees
Wading deep in the river
Her love set me free
Here was a new possibility
And we watched it burn with the memories
All the ashes of an unrequited dream
And a hope that died so suddenly
Can't take it back now
Gotta let it be
In that fateful moment
Looking back at the wake
I knew it all happened for our sake
In the still of the silence
Of palatial unknown
Is when I found my way home
