Lord Huron - I Will Be Back One Day Lyrics

I wanna live in a land of lakes
Where the great waves break
And the night runs right into the day
I wanna be with ones I left

But I'm way out west
And the years keep on slipping away
I wanna run on the sacred dunes
Through the ancient ruins

Where the fires of my ancestors burned
I remember that fateful day when I ran away
And you told me I couldn't return

You made me swear I'd never forget
I made a vow I'd see you again
I will be back one day and I'll find you
There by the great big lake

I been running a long, long time
Trying to flee that life
But I can't seem to leave it behind
Wanna visit the windswept shores of a time before

When the moon and the stars were aligned
I remember the bright spring day
When you sparked that flame
And a fire that continues to burn

I remember the day I left headin' way out west
When you told me to never return
